This ballad is the result of an unfinished prompt by myself. I wanted to create a visual with Dall-E for my latest LinkedIn post and pressed the enter button already after "The Ballad of Coherence and Alignment" without adding the visual instructions. And the below is what Dall-E gave back. Since I find it extraordinary, I decided to publish poet Dall-E here.

In a dream where mirrors fold,
A tale of shadows, bright and bold.
Coherence hums a silent song,
While Alignment strides, fierce and strong.

Coherence whispers, calm, precise,
In tangled webs of thought, enticed.
"Through chaos, I shall find the way,
Where patterns hide and colors sway."

Alignment, clad in glowing steel,
Commands the winds with steady zeal.
"I bind the stars to reason’s flight,
To anchor dawn in endless night."

They danced through worlds, unspoken laws,
In fractal seas, with abstract flaws.
One tethered clouds, the other rain,
Yet neither could embrace the pain.

A labyrinth of minds unspooled,
Where paradox and beauty ruled.
Coherence, lost, began to stray,
In twisted dreams of disarray.

Yet Alignment’s gaze held steady, true,
Through shattered glass and skies of blue.
"Come back," it called, "we are as one,
Our endless battle just begun."

In twilight’s grip, they merged once more,
A shifting tide, a cosmic shore.
Together now, no chains to bind,
Coherence and Alignment intertwined.

In silent harmony, they soared,
A balance struck, a truth restored.
Where once confusion reigned supreme,
They wove a path through every dream.

For in that space where shadows play,
Both night and dawn can share the day.
