A Moment's Learning
Squirming and gliding I went through life,
But happiness eluded me at every moment,
Not knowing what it was that I wanted,
I just kept hopping from torment to torment.
A snail caught my eye one of these moments,
Squirming and gliding with some resemblance to my mind,
I had thought of going past it for a second,
But it looked like its life was going to unwind
Slowly and slowly life kept reducing its pace,
And its course started making me a bit crazed,
Realizing there was nothing for me to do for the creature,
I just let the nature leave me amazed
I hadn’t been free from my pains till yet,
But there was some learning in that moment still,
Like that snail my mind might slowly unwind,
But that shouldn’t stop me from smiling still
