I Could Eat Them For You

Many said that Buster could not be tamed or trusted.
They are the doubters, the naysayers, the negative nettles.
They were fearful of the bear; they let it be known she was insane.
She wanted to have Buster be her friend, to show him her ways.

Lorna is an empath, a psychic, an animal whisperer.
Bear is her power animal;
Buster had been visiting her for twelve years.
She ignored the fearful ones, and joined him in the meadow.

They sat on the edge of flowers and discussed the fears of the others.
I could eat them for you, Buster offered. She gave him a long look.
They laughed and laughed; it was funny. But probably only to them.

I am a believer that any living thing can be tamed and trusted, it's just that we humans don't seem to have the patience to get to know other species as we should. Nicely crafted.

Aw, the friendship between Buster and Lorna is delightful. I can see them frolicking in my meadow!
