Thoughts From a Turtle

Time for me is measured not in minutes or days, but distance I claim nothing more than the shell where I sleep Nor do I seek power, or have forethought, as I am only here to move on, to fill a void, to be part of the cycle of life, obtaining nothing To procreate and eat enough to sustain life, my only desire This too is just done, never planned I ask nothing from the world, but enough distance to cover in a lifetime To be invisible to all but my needs To be at peace Isn't that enough? 7/19/14 contest Free Verse..Theme..
