Exhortation II


               
the steel bulkheads reflect
           hard facts of harsher realities
           the tubular passageway does not
           invite the eye warmly        I hesitate
           to continue along its path.
                   the cold loneliness of space needs
           softness to fill its emptiness

                   I approach the portal
           and gaze into the blackness
                   relieved by occasional
           multi-colour shards of light
           vari-formed patterns of stardust
                   these/they wait for us to come....
