A Grand Theory of Almost Everything
The Dance
The world began — or so they say —
And the stars got bored one day.
They spilled some light, misplaced a tune,
And tripped upon a newborn moon.
The moon, of course, was quite confused,
It blinked, it glowed, it gently mused:
“If I exist, then who are you?”
The stars just laughed — “We wonder too.”
The clouds arrived in grand debate,
About what shape they should create.
A duck? A fish? A kingly face?
They change their minds with perfect grace.
For freedom knows no measured key,
No map, no plan , just pure array—
No map, no plan , not a reply,
The dance becomes its own “why.”
The rhythm speaks, both sharp and true,
A pulse of red, a trace of blue.
A pause, a breath — a tango defined,
No ask, no thought, at the edge of mind.
The floor eavesdrops, pretend to lean,
No follow, no lead — just in between.
Dreams forgets which side it’s on,
The count is lost, and the move goes on.
A melody speaks with all that is,
And silence appears to carry the rest.
No words remain, nothing behove,
Still air — breathing a move.
For all we wonder, we always knew —
The dance was never just the view.
