Turtle Totem
Turtle saved the world;
rescued from silver waters, deep
earth children cling
to tortoise shell,
sky woman’s
plight made right
upon turtle’s
haven.
Wizened sage
with gentle eyes,
look upon the vessel
recharging life’s cycle,
and imbued with
liquid vision
womb waters,
harmonic,
turtle medicine,
heal this child.
The journey long
the struggle deep
soul revived
in tented sleep
together
we walk the
red path.
We carve our totems
in the log,
singing
turtle’s song.
