A turtle is wise
and takes time with life.
Sturdy and steady,
Loyal and steadfast,
Armoured but vulnerable.
Finds her way in the dark
And knows intuition
leads the way.
Pirate ship sails
In moonlight and under the sun
Into the sunset
And the storms.
Demands a bountiful life
Embraces adventure
Follows the stars.
Anchor in love
Hold fast to soul
Reflect in morning coffee:
Intellectual self absorption.
Dance
Swirl and sing and sway
Explore cultures
Unlike your own
Remember that you are
A lovely woman
And to be proud
And garb yourself with love.
Treasure Maps prove
Magic exists
Follow your dreams
Literally.
âImpossibleâ
Does not exist
for pirates.
Rum to imbibe
From time to time
Next dayâs headache will
Tell you when
Youâve gone too far.
Listen to the playlist
Of your life
Your melody is
What holds it all together.
Stories and poems
Tell us about ourselves
Read forever
Not to replace imagination;
To spark, instead.
You are the key.
Unlock your life.
(and when you get
really, really, really
scared . . .
just turn on your light)
