Breaks from the blue-black
skin of the water, dragging her shell
with its mossy scutes
across the shallows and through the rushes
and over the mudflats, to the uprise,
to the yellow sand,
to dig with her ungainly feet
a nest, and hunker there spewing
her white eggs down
into the darkness, and you think
of her patience, her fortitude,
her determination to complete
what she was born to do
and then you realize a greater thing
she doesnât consider
what she was born to do.
Sheâs only filled
with an old blind wish.
It isnât even hers but came to her
in the rain or the soft wind
which is a gate through which her life keeps walking.
She canât see
herself apart from the rest of the world
or the world from what she must do
every spring.
Crawling up the high hill,
luminous under the sand that has packed against her skin,
she doesnât dream
she knows
she is a part of the pond she lives in,
the tall trees are her children,
the birds that swim above her
are tied to her by an unbreakable string.
ââThe Turtle,â
Mary Oliver
