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
