turtle medicine
"The grateful heart sits
at a continuous feast" Proverbs 15:15
turtle medicine shows up
by the pond mid morning
seemingly struggling
for a safe spot in the sun
wearing his years proudly
he remembers the melody
that hums in low tones- "hold onto
the core of my limitless magnificence"
as a tiny baby's breath
becomes wind for a turtle lubbering
from palatable pond to solid earth--
the exercise, flexing
inherent mirth
for another hundred
years of gratitude--gardenias
line the path of rebirth
