Turtle

There within the shell of splendor floats Waves carry armored ancients on their backs Isolated oceans dream of waters tropical Much warmer are the wanderings of warriors Gurgles without sound go softly down Bubbles of the surf will speak out loud But no words come out In summer deep within the shallows Eggs sleep mellow in their oval shapes Sand is there to build a heaven, to build a beach Creatures so happy to be tossed like salad Go back to the solace from where they came Somber on the swollen waves As the rolling magic takes them away Sometimes life has its hurdles But there is one word and that is turtle
