Land Snail: In Praise of Slowness


Deliberate little snail, your foot-muscle-body glides you cross country without complaint.  Eyes stretched upward - inhaling the perfume of soft rain you wander until, 

Crossing trails, 
we meet.

Hello, 
curious gastropod.  Soft little one. 
Gentle woodland dweller.

Land mollusk, 
friendly traveller, 
unhurried, 
nonplussed,
your landscape stardust beneath my feet.

How your footprint glistens!
