Alone In the Dark

I opened my eyes,under. A bleak atmosphere- deserted I beheld. Sinuous channels flowing. Whimpering Sounds escaped, As I walked on vast layer Of permafrost. Beyond the horizon,the World lay bare. With my heart in my Hand,I passed thru Argyle And Hellas,amid eerie Sounds echoing as dust Storms circled,forming Shadowy figures. Storms etching The terrain,light Coloured dust particles Created shifting light And dark patterns. How came I into this Voiceless world? Three thousand miles, Across is chasm;beneath Lay the throne of Hades I thought. Drawing near,I jolted As I heard a voice. In the ship, this voice Echoed in my ears- "Welcome to earth!"
