She navigates for thousands of miles,
miles of sapphire waters to find,
find the beach where she was born,
born with map etched in her mind,
mind linked to a magnetic field,
field distinctive to her birthplace.
Birthplace will be her nesting ground,
ground where hatchlings will have to race,
race to the ocean to survive,
survive if man shows some respect,
respect for the fragile web of life ~
life in which we all connect.
