Mysterious reptile as old as time
What secrets he hides in his shell
Only he can tell,
Of tales he has seen
In his trails under the sea.
Nestled in his abode,
He confides in himself alone.
For the years spent on this earth,
Has made him wise
To keep stories untold.
Forward he goes.
Paddling slow,
Taking pleasure in his travel
On land and sea.
Make no complaint of his pace,
As he knows life is an endless marathon race.
Peers out to face the world
To hear the calls of mother earth
Stirring his primal senses.
Then returns to his shield
His only defenses .
Vulnerable to human atrocities,
He struggles to survive.
Lumbering in despair,
To the brink of extinction.
