AN ASTRONAUT RETURNS

 

As I walk along this lonely beach
I hear the echo of a jungle tree
Or was it a parrot that tried to scream
Or the unknown shadows of a long dead beach
Is there a jungle to the left of me
Or just dead tree trunks that tried to flee
The sun is dimmer than it used to be
When and where can I now be
Is this the Earth I left behind
In the year 2049
Does anyone know I arrived
Is the sea more dead than alive
