In every methodology and peaceful practice, a bone will crackle,

Each pose that's meant to heal, will point out the fragile,

All wishes sent on others' behalf, may tighten them in shackles,

And positive intentions creating tense question marks.


I attempted to find a relevant comparison to the idea of inverted intentions. When we wish to accomplish something useful, or reach our vision, which we see as a bright light leading the path towards the fruitful result. Yet if this very light is dimmed, we realize that on the sidelines, there are feelings left unchecked and unacknowledged, and that through most beautiful and beneficial acts, someone often gets left behind. Someone is misunderstood, left unheard or pained by our righteous endeavors. It is almost an inevitable side effect to human goodness. We have blind spots, and no matter how pure our intentions, and how careful we are, pain will always be an unspoken dust in someone's heart because of our words and actions.
