My heart lurches each time Luna stumbles
Often now, over paths she’s taken a million times

She prances in the cool breeze
I let her chase me for a few steps
Happy to be caught, paying my ransom
In scratches behind her ears

Her breathing is labored after the frolicking
Mine is shallow in empathy
We converge in the moment of
Unconditional love
