Philosophy of a Turtle.

I don’t race
I don’t haste
I’m a turtle
Happy at my pace.

I’ve seen creatures
I’ve seen companions
Perishing in the prime of their lives.
I gray in the merry hundredth.

I find solace in petty, simple
moments of life.
I crave neither obsessively,
never destructively.

I’m a turtle,
The gray-old hermit
Of the Ocean.
Happy in my solitude

Winner in my own image.
