On Currents' Wings| Ode to a Loggerhead Sea Turtle

 

Slow-moving barnacle-laden
Egg-carrying shield-maiden
Returning to your natal home
No longer in the sea to roam
To these sacred nesting grounds
You made your circuitous rounds
At last a mother of children
Blessed not without pain
And tears, a bitter baptism
On currents' wings you fly again
Also found on my substack, Everyday Grace
