Reverse Polarity Poetry Contest
Changing the positive to a negative
A simple shift of perspective
Takes seconds and changes everything
But perhaps it's like trying to slide uphill
Or replace the apple in the tree
It can be visualised but not realised
Instead of picturing all we want
Perhaps we should be still
Drift with the tide to find a shore
There is no purpose in purpose
Goals that negate the being
Things that tether to empty space
If the empty space is visualised
We aren't shackled to it
But moving freely within it
Without preoccupation
We are open to ideas and sensations
To wash over us rather than drown us
Letting go, to be held safely
Disregarding fit to be made to measure
Resting to be awakened
