What we hold inside
David Wakeling said:
This is a clever metaphor. Most metaphors drown the meaning but this enhances the meaning.The idea of human relationships being like the honey bee is great. I found this to be thoughtful and deeply meant.

Beautifully written, especially the imagery, where being, light, and time all dissolve together.

fear overrides gratitude, instinct overrides reason.Bite of freedom is what everyone wants.

We seem quick to bite when we don’t fully understand what someone’s intention is. I hope for myself that I can take the time to think before I act. Very lovely poem Soren.

Often the reactions of creatures which face danger, etc., are not really hostile. They might react from fear or misunderstanding. As for the freed canary, it had got used to the cage, a place where it found security. To see whether it really wants to stay in the cage, we should leave the door open. Freed animals sometimes remember who fed them and looked after them. There is a clip on Youtube showing a freed eagle eyeing the person around it enigmatically. What really went in its mind is difficult to tell. But it appears that creatures recognise people who helped them.

Soren, I’ve known that strange tension where helping isn’t met with thanks but instinct. Your examples feel lived, not theoretical. It reminds me how survival often overrides sentiment. That realism gives the poem its depth. Powerful, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

There’s a hard truth here—mercy offered doesn’t always come back gentle.
You’ve caught that wild edge of freedom, how fear can bite even the hand that frees it.

Stunning lines like: \'In the storm of fear there is no respect\'. Really, what is freedom? An easy fave.

Your title speaks volumes here, gratefulness for the small things and the enormous, some of us have no idea how damn lucky we are. 🌹

I must admit for me the worst thing in the world is man\'s ingratitude to man.Although this mentions birds and dogs I see them as metaphors for human ingratitude. There is another theme of the inability to be free.We seem to be trapped in this world.Wonderful poem. Enjoyable read

This is amazing.There is so much here to appreciate.Was there any good.We will never know.I like to think that there was.This is a two sided poem.There are many opposites fiery romance and love that failed,Wishes made and lost.I beleive this poem raises the ultimate questions of contrariness. An enjoyable read .Made me think
