Thank you for your kind words. I wrote this one after meeting a new friend, for I suddenly realized that I was outpacing her as we walked and talked. It was a good reminder to me to slow down and savor the moment.

shuffling my steps
to match the cadence
of her cane

Ah, yes, I had to do this for my wife, as at train stations, people were deliberately kicking her cane, or heels. I ended up having to back to bodyguard skills.
At least this was a nice situation, and more human. :-)
A nice rhythm to this poem!

__The tap of your heal, the click of her cane; in step. Nifty.
