In the vast expanse of ocean blue,  

Sea turtles move with a grace born of ages,  

Ancient travellers whose paths are now threatened, 

Their shells bear witness to countless journeys.  

 

Once abundant, now their numbers dwindle,  

Caught in the nets of a rapidly changing world,  

Their nesting beaches shrinking,  

Silent cries lost to the roar of the surf.

 

Above the waves, the horizon stretches wide,  

But beneath, the weight of danger presses,  

Plastic debris drifts like ghostly remains,  

A foreign menace entangling their delicate forms.

 

In the quiet hours of twilight,  

They struggle to find safe havens,  

Breeding grounds once vibrant now endangered,  

Each clutch of eggs a fragile hope.

 

The call of conservation echoes through the seas,  

As efforts rise to shield these ancient mariners,  

Preserving their ancient paths against intruding threats,  

A shared responsibility to safeguard their journey.
