We\'ve all got to go-what more can a man do but to eat, drink, and enjoy the fruits of his labour.

This screams determination to me, a stunning piece of imagery and a glorious ending. I do believe we all have these wings and we can all take flight in metaphor at least. 🌹

My comments on the poem \"Sparrow” by sorenbarrett
Birds live a rough life, out in the wild, or even on people’s premises. The nests are not waterproof. The birds get drenched in rains. Newborn ones don’t even have feathers. Imagine what they go through in the rains… The nests are buffetted about during strong winds.
From my poem “The hungry sparrow” written on 1 March, 1995 :
“The birds and their nests be buffet\'d about,
While, hither, the little kids shriek and shout;
Utterly drench\'d, the poor birds shake,
While their babies cry and stay awake…”
“The baby birds plead touchingly for some food :
But, there be yet no change in nature\'s mood;
The howling winds mercilessly strike terror
Into these birds that do shake with horror….”
“Flapping bravely their wings, so wet and sleek,
The poor birds venture out, some food to seek.
These forlorn chirpings : how heart-rending !
To whom be meant these calls so distressing ?
Would ye, birds, manage finally to stay alive ?
After some food would ye struggle and strive ?”

Thoughtful and lively ideas from your poem! Whether real as in faith or metaphorical as in spirituality, the killing of the son or of the lamb, should not be in the human’s hand…

A sensible comment now. I think that, as is said, God has infinite wisdom, that if there was a better way, he would have thought of it.
I accept it, though mysterious, but it does not hinder my faith.
Also, how about God testing Abraham to sacrifice Isaac?

A daft angle on this - if botox could truly improve people, would you let KP be a \'guinea pig\' to find out? I reply: Why, yes of course; in fact it\'s already so! heehee.
Well, it don\'t improve her, so......

My question would be, what parent could sacrifice their child in such a way. Belief is what makes the world go round, for better or worse. I do shudder at \"this line\", for in my mind the symbolism of Christ represents an enlightenment of the mind and human soul. You strike at the very heart of questions I grapple with, yet can find no answers to. Brilliant!!

Can\'t reach in there for the metaphor, but can vividly remember the feeling of loss when an old, familiar, much repaired (don\'t see many of them these days) pair of boots are consigned to the bin having sat in the back of the cupboard for far too long, dusty musty and mouldy....

Sometimes we can feel like a discarded shoe. I may be taking the metaphor elsewhere. But that’s the strength of the poem.
