Clear blue water starts to cover the sand.
Hatching turtles are learning how to swim.
For the first time without safety of home.
The egg they came from is cracked and broken
Buried in the sand no longer. Finally,
Moving freely without their domed safety.
Momentum. A different direction.
Water reveals more and more of the sand.
Newborn babies travel into currents.
Onto their own journeys, discovering.
How to learn and swim of their own accord.
Survival, nourishment, the joy of life.
This is now the way of the world they live.
