O Hermit Crab!
Admire the hermit crab
although so small
possesses great determination
endlessly fighting the rolling waves
tumbling back and forth
antennae over claws
in his great search
to find a lady love
Who are we
to give up so easily
in the pursuit of our heart's desire
with no physical tides to sway us
but merely the whirlpools of our confused emotions
threatening to pull us down and
to make us disregard all romantic inclination
In the search to fulfill our human needs
we sometimes turn back when the waters seem too rough
and retreat at the slightest challenge
But next time, dear reader
when you feel the pull of the moon
trying to push you off-track
remember the simple hermit crab
for whom giving up was not a path
