Turtle Tears
It is before dawn on a moonlit night. The moon has swept the trees and grass in silver. I await the sun. The moon woke me to whisper about the silent beauty of the predawn hours. The yard is white magic and I imagine a monarch butterfly now sleeping, awaken to find a turtle so it can drink its tears. Monarch butterflies drink turtle tears. Why are the turtles crying? They cry for the ailing earth. They cry for those who suffer. They cry for the dying. They cry for those striving to become one with all. They cry for the sap in the trees flowing. They cry for the animals who are constantly on guard for their lives. They cry for the bird egg which will not ever hatch. They cry for the dying stars in an ever expanding universe. They cry for the unawareness of the high and mighty. Turtle tears are like diamonds sparkling in candlelight, like rain drops on a drooping Lily of the Valley. Come now to drink my tears, dear Monarch. Your beauty gladdens my heart. Your heart drops manna from the heavens into my soul. Come now, dear Monarch. Come lick the dew drops in my eyes.

This is so very beautiful! My time reading was so well spent! Sort of like that early pre-dawn awakening to capture this magic of moonlight and turtle wisdom is blanketed with perfect light.

I am keeping this response from you for the times I get discouraged and down– the times when I am at the lowest point. You have been through SO much at an early age, it made you wise and very empathetic and open to people. Maybe you were always like that but I find your reactions to things very inspiring and certainly not typical in people when they are just blossoming into adulthood and all it entails. You have my utmost respect. 🙏❤🙏✨😍
