Between saying and doing, many a pair of shoes is worn out. ~Italian Proverb
Stop, now and then to look at shapes and shadows.
I stopped and noticed shimmers from what seemed like a tree and leaves. They spangled the sidewalk as I rounded a corner.
The crackles in pavement darkened and wind aroused a scent of pikaki, cedar and rose. Tantalized by a creature moving ahead on the pavement, my shoes met the form.
The fellow's eyes sparkled like peridots. His snout opened into a smile that breathed honeysuckle and pine.
"Where did you come from?" my New Balance pair asked.
The dragon stretched his neck and sang, "I wander beneath these streets and wonder what goes on when I hear the pounding of sound."
"Isn't it dreary and dark down there?" one shoe asked.
"Beneath the roots you discover new realms. I dive beyond the dark into tangerine and magenta swirls. Sparks of silver dissolve into the next layer. Ah, that's where the land of curiosities exists."
The second sole brightened all its eyelets, "May we visit with you?"
"Hmmm," the Shadow Dragon wriggled its mane, "I've never invited an abovegrounder. Meet me at the corner of Marine Street on Wednesday."
Creative Write: Have fun and see where your stop today will lead.
