Imagine how my soul brimmed over at reading this analysis of how my little poem wiggled into someone’s happy place and prompted a repost. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
In turn, I was very touched by his last lines: “Free Bush Candelabra” captures the tension between vitality and neglect, reminding us that resilience is not always recognized. The Aloe thrives without needing validation, standing firm in its isolation. This subtle message speaks to the broader idea of finding strength in solitude—surviving and continuing to exist even when the world fails to acknowledge or appreciate it. The Aloe is a symbol of quiet endurance, of persistence without the need for recognition. Through the simplicity of its structure, the poem conveys the power of quiet resilience, inviting us to consider the often-overlooked strength in the natural world and within ourselves.” ~ Adam Fenner
