Shell of Eternity
Reflection
Beneath the weight of time, a tortoise stands,
A guardian of secrets, a keeper of the land.
Its shell, a fortress, cradles the past,
A sanctuary where wisdom and patience last.
The forest whispers, its voice soft and low,
Echoes of ages, a timeless flow.
The tortoise moves slow, yet its heart is bold,
Carrying the weight of the world, uncontrolled.
In its gaze, a mirror of our own,
A reflection of journeys yet to be known.
The shell, a talisman, a symbol of grace,
A reminder that strength lies in patient pace.
For in the stillness of its steady stride,
We find the courage to face life's wide tide.
The tortoise teaches us to pause, to wait,
To let the world's chaos gently abate.
So walk with purpose, yet tread with care,
For in the shell of eternity, we share.
