The Dance of Almost Right by Ruben White

In the city of dreams where the shadows play, Where the sun shines bright on the foolish and gray, I tiptoe through life on a tightrope of doubt, With a discerning spirit, I figure it out. Discernment’s a dance, not a simple two-step; it’s a waltz with the wisdom that life’s often inept. Like a cat on a fence, I balance and sway, With a wink and a nod, I keep folly at bay. The world throws its darts, sharp and unkind, But I dodge and I weave, with a grin and a mind. In the circus of choices, the jester’s the sage; sometimes laughter’s the wisdom that comes with the age. I see a bright path that leads to the light, But just off to the side, there’s a “maybe” in sight. “Almost right” whispers sweetly, a siren's soft song, Yet I dance with the truth, where I truly belong. In the garden of judgment, the weeds look like flowers; discernment’s the sun that reveals hidden powers. With a heart full of laughter, I stroll through the fray, Where the wise and the foolish all mingle and play. “Right” wears a tux, while “almost” dons jeans, And they argue like siblings, in their playful routines. To know the right path, one must stroll through the mess; discernment’s the compass that helps us progress. So here’s to the seekers, the jesters, the brave, Who laugh at the chaos, who dance and who crave. For in every misstep, in every wrong turn, Is a lesson of life, a chance to discern. Embrace the absurdity, let humor ignite; discernment’s the lantern that shines through the night. Summary This poem explores the intricate dance of discernment in life, highlighting the balance between right and almost right. It emphasizes the importance of wisdom, humor, and learning from missteps, portraying life as a playful yet profound journey.
