Innocence
Vipassana said:
lovely. disillusion as one ages is indeed - The charm of magic taken from one\'s eyes, now seen as nothing but a hoodwinker\'s lies.

really nicely rendered---all the ambiguity and irony and sadness of fear and conditioning (A freed canary returns to its cage). and I like the way it moves relentlessly forward. well done, sir.

A wonderful write Soren. The metaphors and imagery in this poem are very strong, I can imagine what it would feel like to be one.

Sometimes you wonder, with human beings, we don\'t really belong here, yet we come and go, so it is quite possible we don\'t go far.
Returning to a hot country when I come back.

Very thoughtfully put and plays with deep mysteries that resonate with me. Well written too and it\'s refreshingly different.

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.

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.
