Walking with Adi

I took a ten-minute walk with Adi last night
We saw a moon that some astronaut had cut in half
And wondered where he found the scissors
We danced on the road
To the crickets playing live in the thickets
We were stars at the Olympic
Gracefully balancing on the sidewalk edge
And we raced over the wet front lawn
Back into our home's comfort
Shouting out greetings like we left seven years ago.

Hi Shailaja,
Came across your blog from S&Co. Really enjoyed this poem. So simple yet beautiful. Touching, in fact.
