Strength of a Shell
Natural Superpower
No wonder the turtle's nature…
Whether shying or shining, it
Knows its own shell
Is simply the superior home.
-
Gliding through open sands,
I too, need nothing more than
Love and trust, carried with me
Upon my back, wherever I roam.
-
Seeking the deepest, bluest
Ocean, I chance upon the vast
Water…my, it’s you there,
Quietly nudging further—fulfill
Adventures off the land.
-
Catching high tides pull,
I’m encompassed within,
Leaving the shore, yet I find
The cracks of your hands,
Holding me above the surface.
-
Free to swim, I take my chance,
Guided through the glimmering sea—
Upon your shell that never shatters…
-
Your tender heart within,
I hear it’s call, it’s beat,
It plays for me, who sings along
A sweet melody.
