Timeless Giant Turtle
In The Land Above The Sky a delicate dreamer dreams
falling sky girl so divine, calling out such fragile screams.
Gracefully displaying an exquisite, breathtaking scene
daring deep blue destiny below, so simply serene.
Swooped up on feathers, swiftly floating so free
amazed aquatic life beneath, all looking up to see.
A mesmerising miracle silently watched in awe
even the giant wise turtle dropped her snapping jaw
Offering up her worldly, genetic coded shell
meticulously marked, a world within to spell.
Caring kind mother geomagnetically moving
upon fathomless oceans old waves, so soothing.
Respected special ancient, so peaceful to all others
tracing decades of time to enchant bite frenzied lovers.
Protected egg clutches little magnets drawn to the seas
where amidst the Coral Castle, tales of earth, grasses, trees.
One sacrifice after another for each grains magic worth
to place upon the turtles back where the world began its birth
