the waves push the shell towards the sand,
the flippers move not stopping until on the land,
pushing along slowly leaving a trail,
reaching the soft dry spot which she cannot fail,
digging a hole with a flipper digging deep,
then turning over the hole so steep,
laying eggs which are soft and round,
then covering the hole so they cant be found,
she moves slowly back towards the water to swim,
just as the light of the sunset begins to dim.
