To be or not to bee

sorenbarrett

A wasp alone its babies flown it sits on a deserted nest
No longer accepted it sits rejected emptiness east and west
Its biting sting no friend does bring by other hives despised
Now rejected in color reflected a wasp can not be a bee disguised

            Sore, love this. That image of the wasp on a deserted nest really locks it in. It’s not just empty space…it’s abandonment. Everything that once gave it purpose is gone, and it’s left with nothing but itself. That lands deep. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

                    I think People care more about Bees than Wasps.
                    If the Bee was abandoned, then it would find Help.

                    • sorenbarrett

                      Thanks Kevin I appreciate the read and interpretation. Yet there are some things such as figs and some orchids that can only be pollinated by wasps. Why discriminate.

                    • Vipassana

                      a metaphor for being an outcast, a misunderstood creature?

                      No longer accepted it sits rejected emptiness east and west

                      • sorenbarrett

                        Thanks so much for your read and interpretation yes could be no longer accepted or needed

                        when the kids fly the nest, loneliness is inevitable - well described...
