Polar Opposites
Cats vs Dogs
Her feline ways preen enthusiastic indifference.
His canine spirit soaks in unconditional affirmation.
Both demanding non-interest and attention
respectively and collectively in unrelenting waves.
Open vs Closed
She is open and direct and brutally honest
with every word that spills from her mouth unfiltered.
He is a closed book still in its original wrapping
and not a single page readable written in invisible ink.
Words vs Music
Both relate to the senses stroking sound of notes
words for the soul and music to the ears
penning toner and dancing fingers as mighty as each other
in releasing avalanches of emotional narratives.
Conceptual vs Analytical
Her imagination epitomises Renaissance Impressionism
a dreamscape so vivid day and night second by second.
He barely remembers dreaming at all
and life is a mathematical construct structured black and white.
Water vs Land
She whimsically floats and swims delighted by birds and sea life
slips and slides across beach sand dunes searching for shells.
He canters and sprints across mountain terrain
a man on a mission competing with himself to be better.
Darkness vs Light
Both relate to the ups and downs
of the planet around them
and the humanity under their skin and flowing through their veins
clutching at gratitude to fuel some semblance of optimism.
What if vs What is
Despite being poles apart neither accept the disintegrating world as it is
and long to build something better and make a difference
strive for what could be for future generations
a planet’s life sustained re-sown to grow and thrive anew.
