Shades of Blue

A full moon hangs on this cool night,
its glow reflects shimmering light,
a fleeting shape cuts through the sky,
upon her face, a plane flies by.

Down far below where waves retreat,
a turtle lifts its ancient feet,
it climbs the shore with patient grace,
the sea behind, the clouds in place.

Above, it hums radiant stars,
bound for places set near and far,
a spark of motion in so deep,
while underneath the world’s asleep.

One journeys through the silent sky,
the other crawls where water lies,
two travelers on different seas,
both chasing distant destinies.
