Welcome back, and help

Welcome back to Earth.

The dolphins are here

And after that the rest of everything.

How was it being above it all?

Do you have any advice for us?

(We could use it.)

Will you hear the morning dove any differently,

Cooing from her nest In the palm?

Does it seem any more miraculous than before

Or are you already back

In the curl of the wave of time?

Do you want to be here more than before

Or will you always dream of getting away

With your astronaut suitcase

All packed under your bed?

What I really want to know

As this poem winds down,

And now that the Earth

Has once more embraced you, is

Can you help us?

Because the truth is

Most of us

Don't know where we are.
