Child sculpting with delight, a sea turtle from sand Details of a geometric shell, design carved with a stick, eyes of two perfectly round, worn- flat sea pebbles and four well- placed fins. If an unseen force were to animate these features and sea-ready fins It would race for the breakers, not looking back to see who was its Creator.

Thanks Linda: I love it when someone reads one of my earlier poems. I have so many I never posted sitting in my hard drive in my labarynth of files. Time is so divided between other things, Art, friends and responsibilities ha. I thanks you so much . SuZ

The poem exhibits an exquisite beauty and captivating portrayal, Suz. It presents the thought-provoking notion that the turtle, akin to humanity, swiftly distances itself from its divine origin. The verses brim with profound observations and astounding facets of existence.

Thanks dear Sotto: as I said to Gershon. Yes. It is meant to point out our lack of gratitude for our existence or Perhaps just the simple taking for granted of miracles. Thanks for another wonderful comment. I am thinking Elon Musk is just as worried that AI will do the same to mankind. Best, SuZ

Intriguing. Turtle no different from man: Races away from his Creator as soon as he can. Remarks and remarkabilities, gw
