Tobagon tide


Beyond my wishes I was called to swim naked,
To dive new born into the Ocean of Atlantis.
Last night, the leatherback gave birth
Out of her natural buoyant self
She landed on her birthing beach,
An amazing turtle, true mother earth returned,
Leaving her eggs, at Easter, for newfound hope.
That they might hatch, allowed to live,
Is all that separates us from extinction.
And now the rains return, a tropical shower
That blesses this paradisal isle,
This land of happiness & joy,
That feels so foreign to my wounded pride,
That I may have another truly understand,
And with that love, the soul I truly am.
