| THE TURTLE Nature loves her She wants to keep her forever A part time life in her shell A serene blank mind No agony of nostalgia Nature loves her She will be there for a long, long, long time Put your hands on her Feed her some vegetables A serene blank mind No agony of nostalgia I wish the people I love had their blood flowing for as long as the turtle I wish peace would last as long as the turtle And youth also And summer also If I loved myself I would like to be a turtle I like to be in a shell I like to be in a shell © 2007 Jerome Lebel |
