What would you want to see
With no lenses filtering your vision
With no one telling you how to look at things
How would you live your life
Would you see the galaxy clearly
Would you admire the trees
Would you like your reflection
Be honest with yourself
Do even you care about perception
Or would you rather live blindly
Absorb what others show you
To see only what you're told to
Have you given any thought to it
Do you prefer an obstructed view
Why are you so content
Is it to your liking
See things without intent
Try looking through another lens

Spectacular!!! Love your impressive reverse poem!!!💕♥️♥️
Your poem is really thought-provoking and does a great job of quietening the mind. This is a beautiful poem that could be paired with any type of mindfulness practice, like meditation. "What do I want to see?" Excellent piece.
What would I want to see...I'm doing this right now, there's is something my urge is to be vindictive over, and I am asking myself, what do I want to see in the mirror.
Excellent inverse! Definitely a lot of intentionality in crafting the flip!
This has to be the best. The reverse was equally lovely.
Oooo, this was so deep! I love how reading it in reverse meant looking at it in a different way, which is what this poem is about!
This is a great inverse. Well done.
Either way I read it, I want to see someone with whom I want to be wanting to be with me. In other words, I want to see through a fantasy lens. Still, I love the poem, Brin. Well done.
What a brilliant piece! It wasn't until I got to your prompt that I read it again and was doubly delighted! - Definitely in my Top 5! Coupled with an almost perfect image.
This is such a wonderful inverse poem. Beautifully done!
Nice 💜
Brin this is a fabulous entry to the inverse challenge!! I love what you did here! It's insightful, thought provoking and brilliant! Great work!
