April Evening--By Greg Gregory--United States

April Evening

I am afraid to sleep.
The bright disc
of the spring moon
attached its reflection
to the thawed pond
outside my window.
Now water striders
walk on the moon,
bound to this world
as delicately
as the moon on water.

  5. Beautiful imagery. Are water striders an aquatic spider or type of insect.?
    Thanks for the gift of your poetry.
