Graciously provided by Patrick Bernardy

All throughout the universe we see this truth declared.
There is no singularity for everything is paired.
If there were no darkness, then there would be no light,
And if we cannot do a wrong, then we could do no right.

When we measure our existence from this point of view
We understand there is no one, for one is always two.
The space between these opposites is something we define
Simply by expressing that the point becomes a line.

This nature of duality, I call the Law of Twos.
Our duty lies within the capability to choose.
We learn through trial and error that on any given line,
There is a point of intersect that represents divine.

And since divine must be a line, then it is my contention,
This understanding by default, creates the next dimension.
When we define the scope of this dimension that we gain,
We say as simply as before, the line becomes a plane.

Since every line contains a point of choice that is divine,
Then every plane must intersect somewhere along this line.
It's clear to see if every plane is thusly intertwined,
Necessity demands a third dimension be defined.

A plane becomes a solid should cover this quite nicely.
Dimensions that exist beyond, I cannot say precisely.
Geometry is sacred. It's something we should see clear.
Without its universal laws, we wouldn't even be here.
