Silvered mirrors of reflection Light of truth enlightenment Reflecting back, color of reality Revealing backward meanings Perceptions of color and light. Dark mirrors of absorption Whose images inhale visions, Taking light turning it black Devoid of any physical form Having shadows disappear. Shrinking awareness of reality, Gravity of the other side The never feeling here after Breathing grave of inversion Darkness existing but where. Devoid of any dimension Floating on inner space Thoughts seeking outer space Inside out movements Turning inside out. Left becoming right Upside down right crazy, To walk is to never leave Staying moves you away Toward light as a spec. Moving backwards enlarges it, Sprinting backward twisted Around barrier crashing inside Out fears carrying the mind Into nightmares then soothing. What an insanity’s reflection To have been inhaled whole. Greatest fears invading home Breathing in time, strikes terror Clocks scream counter clockwise. Mirrors revealing the right time Heartbeats beating so right, English drivers turn American, Racetracks counter the norms, Madness in its total reversal. God could anything be worse Than writing right to left, Characters need silver mirrors For interpretations, yet speech In miracles is still recognized. Frantic moves to regain clarity To find the elusive dark mirror. Reverse time pattern into peace. Closing eyes to be aware of it, Cautious steps turning stomachs. Churning in uncertain heart burns, Back and forth uncertainty Being quaked finally in gravity. Fear whirling churning within Darkness, the unknown dimension. Concocted meditative hallucinations, Weird patterns as if in an acid trip To close the mind and explode Feeling something but where, Eyes glued shut in super glue. Prying hands with razor nails, Oh, the new found insanity. Tears of negatives becoming alive, Realizing soon the photographers World of black and white reversals. Negatives that are stilled in color Seeing tears fall in suspension. Haunting memories of film strips Living in the grays of depression. Springs lost as winter shadows. Mirrors here, all showing blackness, Finally realizing in vain escapes To look on the bright side of things, Silver reflection of what had been, Earth quaking storm enlightening. Reasons to exist as you were, Determination, sheer will power, You are the reflection inside That nothing can turn aside. Or can avoid coming through. To finally find the reality That never sleeps again, Evading mirrors as the plague. So today in your chores What will the mirror reveal? Try to ignore them if you can! And see the world reverse itself. Wondering what is on, The other side! Note: Last night after a power failure, and closing my eyes, these thoughts came out of nowhere. Therefore, upon a flashlight, I sketched it out, then finishing it upon the sunlight within the rejuvenated illumination of 3 AM. I am saving this quick for last night my thoughts on screen became dark to never revive again as my Microsoft Word backup set for 3 minutes failed me in a greater timeframe. To lose, to gain, life’s living examples.

Did the initial read then back then cutting on a line by line I just haven't the time since dinner, application forms etc., want doing. Thank something I dont have a Mirror; just an old trouser press that has no power. Images Looking at self in all hues hidden in yourself learning fascinated Excellent words that need a lot of time to read and understand Take care Dave |
