Turtle Moon

Turtle Moon

by Chrissy

I feel the stars above me

As I rest here in my little home

Twinkling so bright

As if to watch over me

Like so many turtle gods

With so many flashlights

Being guided by the big turtle moon

With her glowing white shell

Sometimes she hides

But I can always find her

And the protection she provides

Way back here in the cozy dark

The light in my little shelled life

And I snuggle way in

Where no one can reach me

And I sigh

A little turtle sigh . . .
