Union

Union is at ease.

Inclusiveness is in the air

Here, all is one with the Supreme Being

Without judgement

Light showers

Tension ceases.

You wander on the ground, looking up

You feel light, ready to take off.

Anger leaves the premises

Smilingly, willingly

With other unnatural beliefs.

Surface from deep within,

Happiness, peace, power

Love, purity

Knowingness, bliss

Original beliefs emerge.

In a moment of consciousness

You experience fullness and begin to express in wonder

Nothing is lost

All is won here with the Supreme Being

Union is at ease.

Note: This is in reversible style. However, it has one dependency; while reading from top to bottom, ‘nothing is lost’ needs to be read as 'Nothing’s lost, while moving upward, as 'Nothing, is lost. Thank you.

Reversible style:

I have been writing in reversible style since quite some time in three language, viz. English, French and in Bengali. This style occurred to me while I was having coffee in my balcony in Hyderabad, India. Although water-logging has become rare, but occasionally we do get to be in it, especially after a heavy downpour. Looking down I could see the clear sky, as clear as it really was after a good shower, through the not-so-clean waters. My first poem in this style was 'Reflection', which I posted here sometime ago. 

Language has many barriers, rules, prescriptions, proscriptions. Besides, grammar, even the movement of language is condemned to follow a certain order, either from left to right, viz. English, French, Hindi, Bengali, etc. or from right to left, viz. Arabic, Hebrew, Urdu, etc. However, all languages obediently gravitate downwards, they are condemned to fall,. While it may not possible in prose, I thought of making a very modest attempt of letting some poems also move upwards, even in form, because in terms of content, many move upwards, especially those which talk about transcendentalism. 

This form has only two rules, 1) Content and coherence is at the helm of things. It should make sense when it is moving against the convention and 2) Obedience, respect, submission needs to be followed first, hence it should first flow conventionally.

I admit that this form might raise more criticism than acceptance because it threatens us to really think out of the box. However, I am looking for some poets and writers who could take this up to the next level and do much better than what I tried here. I promise to keep on trying in the days to come.
