Notes About The Poem

December 9, 2025

For the "Pause of Polarity Interchange" Contest

by Unseeking Seeker

Pause of Polarity Interchange

There is a place
A moment's space
where Time is paused
and hush is caused
Where infinity
we almost see
where colors flash
and letters dash
While not a word
but thought is heard

Thought will then muse
Till word ensues
But did it dare
find Ego's lair
where “I” command
is in demand

If thought is deep
Let Ego sleep
Or else remorse
might stem our course
Yet “I” is strong
shouts Evermore
and finds scant use
on other's shore.

Now there are clues
Though each is strong
The one we choose
May prove us wrong.
But at last although
there is one choice 
which will then echo
as our voice.

Victor Buhagiar December 15, 2025 at 1:17 AM We all have thoughts rambling in our minds. What to do with them? Your thoughts are fascinating. Ann Peck December 21, 2025 at 1:36 PM Thanks, Victor!

Andrea Dietrich December 11, 2025 at 11:55 AM Very nice. Lots of thought out into this reflective poem Ann Peck December 13, 2025 at 9:23 AM Thanks so much, Andrea.

Daniel Henry Rodgers December 11, 2025 at 9:47 AM Dear Ann, This is a truly fascinating look at the internal process of turning thought into action and voice. It really makes me consider how much of our authentic internal wisdom is corrupted or shaped by the desire for external command before it ever becomes a word spoken. Autumn Blessings, Dear Ann, Daniel Ann Peck December 13, 2025 at 9:16 AM I think probably most of our thinking is shaped by the desire to change another's thoughts, Daniel. Thank you for understanding what my poem is trying to say.

Valsa George December 10, 2025 at 5:46 PM In our hearts, there is a constant tug of war for ego to come into prominence. But we have to subdue it with sublime thoughts. A poem, so profound, smooth flowing and beautifully rhymed. All the best dear Ann Ann Peck December 13, 2025 at 9:21 AM Thank you so much, Valsa. The words we say do, often, have weight.
