Lainesblog Thinking Out Loud

Just before the Hurricane,

this little one emerges.

She's on her way to the turbulent waves.

We on the shore want so badly to help,

but we know better and walk beside her,

well meaning, helpless, guardians,

until a wave envelopes her –

back and forth

and she is gone

on her long journey

to everywhere.

Baby Turtle, September 1, 2019. The lifeguards assured me that she would make it!
