 Elusive beauty, flying off

  the next bush, tree, tall flower.

Hiding from our noise,

  the violence of us rock throwing.

Yet still you have survived,

  to be here, in the forest.

Where you can sit in silence

  and watch you flit, move, gone.

Your colors are brilliant

  as you bend to hunt, stabbing.

Why can't we see what it has 

  cost us to hurt you, wonder?
