Inversion

Inversion

Dreams in the negative:
No pain.
No hunger.
No fear.
No hate.
No helplessness.

Are they dreams if they’re backwards?
Can we dream that way?
Can we dream from the wrong direction?

She knew only the inversion.
She felt only the wrong way round.
She never
(another negative)
Had a dream that spoke to something facing forward:

Comfort.
Plenty.
Peace.
Love.

But what’s the positive of helplessness?
Control?

That’s all she had and it was a nightmare.
Poor backwards thing.
Facing the wrong way round.
An inversion of the soul.
Always running away.
Never toward.

    This is cool Robin !! The words go so well and I relate in my struggle to get balance with life (backwards, forwards, ins and outs, ups and downs, never just “being”) I think this will trigger some thought, maybe a bit of meditation :)))
    Huggies xx

    inversion the opposite of? or distortion the warping of? such a sad mutation of what can be….and yet i’ve found myself in a simular place at different times…..beauty is in the eye of the beholder so maybe everything else is as well….maybe how we look at life is the determining factor of it…...idk…...but this does give me cause to ponder…......very poignant piece

    A remarkably sad image. The verse is great! The use of negative as opposite as opposed to bad. It all works so well together! Bravo

    Incredibly complex work and writing Robin!!! Powerful!!!
    The one ray of hope we seem to see in this image .. is in her eyes …where despite the inversion …she is somehow able to see the beauty of nature …in a bird and in a fish!!! There is ALWAYS hope!!!

  • robpixaday replied

    MANY thanks!!!!!!!! I really appreciate that….......!!!!
