There is such great virtue in each small humble sign, a beauty that is both vibrant and innocent too, much enjoyed this piece of yours David!

A lovely write around the man\'s evolution of lifetime, to me it highlights that maybe life was better when our needs were much simpler, nicely written

Had I wings to fly would I bother?

Deeply moving, David. Had I the wings to free myself of this oppressive hell, where would I even fly to when humanity has already sunk to such unfathomable depths? It\' lie a hole that no one can get out of. So powerful a despair. 🙏🏻🕊️

This is a cleverly crafted write, I had not before thought of us behaving like birds but clearly in so many ways we do, make you think and enjoyable

A wonderful poem of metaphor where we too as each type of bird fears something different we as different people have our predators, difficulties and band together for protection. Then there is another aspect to this poem that on another level speaks in reverse metaphor like the Nazi\'s and the holocaust we are doing the same to nature. Most ingeniously engineered this poem is like a double mirror that looks both ways to eternity by seeing no further than the subject in it. For its most ingenious structure a fave

More than a story I take this as an allegory with a beautiful mythical lead in and exit. Nicely done

Whether taken literally or metaphorically this poem bleeds sadness over being on one\'s own and no one noticing or even caring and whatever one has being passed on to one who is not there. The chorus adds power to the message. A fave

unfulfilled desires always come back to haunt us, and ask us why we did not take the chance when handed to us on a platter

Joy to the world indeed as I wandered through this lovely poem, as if opening a door to the beauties of life. A poem and therein all that is joyous.
My kind regards, David,
Tony.

The world does not ask to be noticed, yet still, it hums.
A leaf sways, a bird turns, light shifts against the window—
without urgency, without demand.
What if wonder was not something sought,
but a joy that is always remembered?

How easily we overlook the simple things that have the most beauty and importance. How often do we think of breathing. Loved the meaning in this poem

I particularly loved the last three lines David. The rhyme and feel for it was great but my favorite was the image of sleep as a gentle thief. Very nice

Stars burn, but wounds of light remain,
While hands grasp for what won’t sustain.
The night calls sharp, to where visions ran,
Unraveled dreams where nascent truths began

This is beautiful poetry, composed with delicate care and a flair for the poetics. Especially so, the first stanza, that being said, the poem in its entirety is a grand affair and one to be savoured. Excellent, David.
All the very best to you,
Tony.

Thoroughly enjoyed this poem. Liked your rhyme scheme and loved the line , \" Love lets us believe in eternity.\" Though it ends sadly, it has an air of reality. Liked the use of nature in relation to love.
