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

Soren, there’s reflection here without bitterness. From Santa nights to first love to belief itself…you trace the arc of innocence with clarity. That final plea to be beguiled again feels vulnerable and brave. It reminds us that wonder is not foolish…it’s human. Powerful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The very eyes of a child, if we are lucky enough to know our innocence as a child many do not. A. Gorgeous poem of reflection. 🌹

Yes, you\'ve got to get back to childhood where responsibility is left to others.
Now get out there and bag that impossible present all the kids want.
Just realised that present is, just transfer money into my account, bloody weans.

How to live that magic again, within all the pressures, disillusionments, and responsibilities of being an adult? Great question. And prayer, Soren.
