Whistling in the Dark

Whistling in the Dark
(For Rob, Madeline L'Engle and "A Wind in the Door")

Robbie and space travel
thought confusing
images of time
to unravel.
The concept of where
having no meaning
in the battle
for cosmic care.
Learning to feel
going beyond thinking
to reach the answer
to what is real.
It is more much more than a lark
this reaching toward understanding
this loving to conquer hating
this . . . whistling in the
dark
