Slow and Steady: The Gentle Journey of a Snail

Slow down and notice the wonders around you—sometimes, the smallest journeys are the most beautiful.

A tiny shell upon his back,
He journeys slow along the track.
With silver trail and patient pace,
He lingers in each mossy place.

Unhurried by the world’s mad dash,
He makes the raindrop’s song his splash.
Though humble, quiet, soft, and frail—
A gentle wonder: little snail.

Upon a dewy morning's tender light,  
A humble wanderer begins his flight.  
No wings to lift, no rushing tide,  
Just a spiraled shell to guard his stride.  

He traces paths on emerald leaves,  
A silken thread the soft earth weaves.  
With cautious steps, he greets the day,  
In worlds where giants roam and play.  

The rain, a gentle symphony,  
Composes songs for him to see.  
With every drop that dares to fall,  
He welcomes softly, one and all.  

A slow ballet, a patient dance,  
Through blades of grass, he finds his chance.  
No need for haste, no race to run,  
For life's a journey, not a stun.  

His shell, a fortress, spiral tight,  
A castle tuned to nature's light.  
He carries past and future near,  
A timeless tale held crystal clear.  

In every inch, a story told,  
Of quiet strength and courage bold.  
Though small in size, he owns the day,  
A gentle prince who leads the way.  

So when you rush through crowded street,  
Recall the snail's deliberate beat.  
Slow down, observe, and you may find,  
A richer world awaits your mind.  

In every trail of gleaming dew,  
Life’s simple truths are shining through.  
For in the crawl, the humble snail,  
Holds wisdom vast beyond the pale.

I feel the calm beneath my feet,  
The whispered breath of earth so sweet.  
In every step, a world unfolds,  
Of secret tales and dreams untold.

I feel the pulse of ancient trees,  
Their stories carried on the breeze.  
A timeless dance of leaf and bough,  
Nature’s vow I humbly plough.

I feel the rain, a soft embrace,  
That cleanses time, restores my pace.  
Each droplet sings a lullaby,  
Beneath the vast and endless sky.

I feel the strength in being slow,  
For in this pace, true wonders grow.  
Patience blooms within my shell,  
As silent tales begin to swell.

I feel the world in every trail,  
Through whispering grass and gentle gale.  
A universe beneath the veil,  
Where quiet thoughts and hearts prevail.

I feel the light, both soft and bright,  
Guiding me through day and night.  
And in this journey, small yet grand,  
I find my place, my time, my land.

The dew-kissed petals softly gleam,
Like diamonds caught in morning’s dream.
The chorus of the songbirds rise,
A symphony beneath blue skies.

The gentle brook with waters clear,
Whispers secrets for me to hear.
The rustling leaves, the winds that play,
Guide me gently on my way.

Sunlight filters through the trees,
Dancing shadows, swaying leaves.
The forest floor a mosaic bright,
With fungi, moss, and fleeting light.

The scent of pine, the earth’s perfume,
Mix with wildflowers in full bloom.
A canvas painted rich and deep,
Where creatures hide and play and sleep.

Within this realm of green and gold,
My tiny path, my story told.
A world alive with breath and sound,
A secret place where peace is found.
