Oh little flying friend!You look tired,
As if the world took you for a ride
You stopped flapping those fragile wings
I thought you may have died.
Is nature so unfair to let someone die as pretty as you?
I feel you need to fight, rise up, for the life that is due!
Forget what happened, move on and see what is new.
Fly your way, Live again like you never knew!
I'm with you, take a leap of faith
I'll get you to a place that you feel alright
Now I see you like it as you no longer tied
WOW! you flew, you are out of my sight!
I miss you my friend, stay good wherever you go
Here I realize that the nature is not cruel and sour
I was meant to help you as I felt proud to do
I guess it is time to know, I'm Nature too!

I was sitting in front of comp, and working on something, my mom started calling for me to show something. I did not want to be disturbed but her voice become repetitive and louder. I got up an went to see what on earth made her call me so urgently. And immediately I realized I was not disappointed.
It was a wonderful brightly colored butterfly. A quick guess and also google search, I identified it as Common Lime Butterfly Papilio Demoleus. It just stud still... not flapping, not moving.. for the first look, I thought it is dead. Then I went closer and gave a gentle blow... IT MOVED! alas... Suddenly I felt I cant die like this. Since it was not moving much, I thought I will take some snaps and leave it outside on some plant.
I smoothly shifted it to my black bag without harming it. I wanted to get a better composition and frames. Used a flash light and paper filter to get soft lighting. with my simple Point and Shoot camera [Nikon L22-Macro mode] I took few photos.
By then it was trying to make an effort to fly. I realized I should take it outside NOW. I placed it on a plant in my small garden, Initially it did not move much... But after sometime It Just flew! within seconds It was nowhere nearby.
I copied the photos to comp and to my surprise.. I did not have to edit it! I felt good. (Take a look, hope you like them too!)
My mom looked at the photos and sighed! "It flew away but it will stay in your computer forever!"
