The Racoon and the Butterfly

I watched a raccoon on a warm, sunny evening as he lazily sit upon a branch high in the breeze; When all of a sudden a brilliant, bright butterfly gently landed just below him on a leaf. The raccoon's eyes lit up with curiosity at the brilliance of it's colors, as it's wings slowed to a soft flutter. The raccoon reached out to touch the butterfly and lightly it lifted it's self toward the sky. The raccoon reached for it once more with his little hands eager to touched what his eyes adored. The butterfly would not come close enough for the raccoon to touch and in puzzlement the raccoon he did stare and watched the brilliant, bright butterfly flutter in the air. The raccoon seemed to want a little friend as the butterfly landed and was now sitting on the branch's bend. The raccoon longed to see the butterfly up close and to touch it's colorful wings it adored. The raccoon stretched out it's little black hand once more. To my amazement the butterfly landed in it's hand, this I adored. As I watched, they stared at each other for what seemed like hours; It was an amazing site to see natures love and appreciation for one another. What a beautiful memory left on my heart of nature's love and great spiritual power.

“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep Sea, and music in its roar: I love not Man the less, but Nature more," Lord Byron. Love your poem:)
