drifting, tiny flicks of his feet
honu moves in the light
a full moon shows a path
among the hazards of coral
and sharks and rocks
the music feeds into his soul
the pulse of his ocean
the solitude of the island
he marvels
how is it
when this moon song goes quiet
that he can feel so alone
will he feel the song again
the turtle lifts his head to the horizon
a vast indigo sky joins the fluorescing water before him
honu wonders what lies out there
before him
for him
for them
and he dives forward
the turtle lifts his head to the horizon
a vast indigo sky joins the fluorescing water before him
honu wonders what lies out there
before him
for him
for them
and he dives forward

"behold the turtle; she only makes progress when she sticks her neck out"
