1Insightful
Snail Trails like silver tails
Reaching across the ground
Like silver tails of dreams
Ever-changing, beautiful

Like comets across the sky
Ghostly, silver threads
Pasts long gone
And futures to come

Like whispers long forgotten
Softer than a breath on the ear
Lined with truths
Destroyed with lies

Like the nightmares at dusk
Slimy, sticky, everywhere you look
Terrors both known and unknown
But always forgotten

Like a child's innocence
Simple, yet precious
Joyful and coveted
But easily destroyed

Like the moon at night
With cold, pale light
Full of awe and wonder
Simple yet mesmerizing

Snail Trails like silver tails
Reaching across the ground
Like silver tails of dreams
Ever-changing, beautiful
