couple
I witnessed a love beyond understanding
through my turtle
it flourished in the hands of Life
Life crafting its beautiful shell, its sturdy legs
and its color of twigs,
Life handed it to me as its polisher while I nurtured it,
watching it transform, watching it thrive
as soon as Life told me my job was done
Life handed the animal towards Death;
Death smiled, forever grateful for the countless gifts from Life.
how perfect and unique each one was, Death whispers,
and keeps them forever, a constant reminder
of their unbreakable bond.
