Snail Slowly Feels Its Way

Green climbs higher and deepens
Gentle breeze rustles bright new leaves
Chipmunks chirp out Morse code
Creek flows gently
Snail slowly feels its way across the trail
Centipede marches across with absolute intent
Beatle lumbers its way through the dust and fluff of the trail
Mayapple umbrellas cover the forest floor
Bright green filling in gentle hues of the Prairie
Buzz of grasshoppers
Lesser celandine preparing to give away to new growth on forest floor
Trees quietly soak in the energy of the Sun
Such beauty, resilience, constance, life
