the lion and the butterfly...for cecil from his pride

a butterfly landed on the paw
of our king.
he sat, quietly,
not doing anything
but admiring the grace
and beauty of the little
being.
no need to destroy
the loveliness he was
seeing.
humans,
please learn this today,
take a look, take a picture
then walk away.


we miss you cecil,
his pride and his joys
our lives forever
altered...
our hearts,
forever broken
