Oh Sheree what a wonderful poem! The imagery and the ending! To feel as a human we have this right to needlessly destroy that which nature gifted us with. That humanity's dominion over the animals got so warped along the way that it means we destroy without thought what we believe to be "wrong" or "evil". I'm so glad it ended with that aching feeling of having missed something wonderous because of human pettiness. This is one I'll tuck away and re-read often I think. Thank you for sharing it.
