That’s hauntingly beautiful poem is rich in imagery and layered with melancholy. It reads like an archaeological excavation of time itself, where each line delicately uncovers a relic of a world lost, forgotten, or abandoned. It evokes the tension between what once was and what now remains, hinting at the futility of searching for life in bones and meaning in silence.

Your poem posed a considerable challenge, requiring five readings to grasp its nuances. While I\'m still slightly uncertain, I think I\'ve gained a reasonable understanding. The early morning hour may not be ideal for tackling intricate literary twists. Your poem explores the concept of loss and the remnants of the past, suggesting that what once held significance has transformed into mere echoes or artifacts. You seem to reflect on the idea that history, wisdom, and memories can fade into obscurity, ultimately becoming \"nothing anymore,\" delving into the remains of the past—physical objects like bones, pottery, and papyrus—symbolizing the remnants of knowledge and experience that you once had meaning. The imagery evokes in me a sense of nostalgia and the inevitability of time erasing the importance of what once was.

I am thinking on this one, I am not sure of the real meaning of the write. my first thought is off today everything that has gone before is irrelevant and means nothing to people in the modern world, as we are only interested in the now, anyway I still enjoyed the read

“Wiped clean” carries such a gentle power; each stanza feels like a rite of passage through water, earth, and finally the tender work of decay. I love how you transform pain and loss into something regenerative, as if every scar becomes a seed for new growth. It’s a beautiful reminder that healing isn’t always neat or painless, but carries its own quiet grace. Thank you for sharing this journey; it lingers long after the last line.

A write of inner reflection, asking us to look at experiances with pain, hurt, discomfort. That working through that and cleaning it up can start the healing process, enjoyed the read

This poem serves to highlight the importance of embracing both the painful and healing aspects of life, suggesting that through decay and suffering, one can find renewal and purity. The poet seems to encourage readers to reflect on their own experiences with pain and healing.The imagery of cleaning through dirt, ashes, and time indicates that pain and scars can be transcended.

I do believe bees have a class system: Queen - workers - drones; it works for them in apparent harmony... So?
Next time you do this topic Soren, perhaps the last line could be \"From war man will never be free until we learn to...\" then left open for others to fill in with thoughts such as...forgive and negotiate, or... I\'m still thinking, because I\'m only sure of one thing - humans ain\'t bees....
Great title.

I have to agree with you. \"From war man will never be free until we learn to be more like the bee\". Man will always be in conflict with each other... Maybe we should follow the dictum: \"Love thy neighbor...\" Thank you for the reflection!

You capture here the essence of what binds us together. We have the ability to forgive, show compassion and empathy for one another. And no matter what may try to dissuade us, we come back as one. Thank you for this reaffirmation of our humanity. Beautifully done!

Well written, not too fond of bees! Your poem beautifully illuminates the futility of vengeance and the redemptive power of forgiveness, masterfully contrasting the destructive cycle of revenge with the harmonious existence of bees, and inspiring humanity to learn from nature\'s wisdom to cultivate peace and unity, thereby provoking profound reflection on the cyclical nature of revenge and the imperative of forgiveness, and advocating for a transformative shift in perspective that can yield peace and unity, beautifully inspired by the natural world.

There are those who might say its a man thing .. It\'s not, is it .. it takes all sorts .. My guess is, that heaven is full of em and in all shapes and sizes .. Tho\' maybe simple in composition, what we have here, is something much more profound and highly complex touching on the higher corporeal components that which sets man apart .. This is really about compassion and empathy isn\'t it .. or am I barking up the wrong tree ..

A profoundly moving, soul-stirring poem. Your poem beautifully weaves together compassion, responsibility, and the interconnectedness of all beings, human and animal, inspiring a deeper reflection on our shared humanity. It raises vital ethical questions about how society treats the vulnerable, particularly those who are unwanted or marginalized, such as pregnant dogs and strays, urging us to reconsider our values. The poet thoughtfully invites a contemplation on the nature of humanity and empathy, questioning why we often draw a line between humans and animals in matters of dignity and the afterlife, encouraging a more inclusive and compassionate worldview.

Hello, Soren,
Man\'s best friend when all is well. To do what a dog would do, that is the question. I say, homeless or not, care for her and hope for the best, that said, it is a conundrum. Well put, said and questioned in your usual compassionate style.
All the best,
Tony.
