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 — the tango defined,

No ask, no thought, at the edge of mind.

 

 

The floor eavesdrops, started to lean,

No follow, no lead — just in between.

 

 

A dream forgets which side it’s on,

The count is lost, and the move goes on.

 

The 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.
