Hich excerpt from "The Turtle” includes words that create a calm and welcoming mood? skin of the water, dragging her shell
with its mossy scutes
across the shallows and through the rushes
to dig with her ungainly feet
a nest, and hunker there spewing
her white eggs down
of her patience, her fortitude,
her determination to complete
what she was born to do –
It isn’t even hers but came to her
in the rain or the soft wind,
which is a gate through which her life keeps walking.
