O humble point upon a plane,
A realm of numbers you contain,
In graphs and maps, you find your grace,
Guiding paths through time and space.
With x and y, you mark your place,
A Cartesian dance, an endless chase,
You give dimension to the void,
A symphony in numbers coiled.
From origin you boldly stray,
In every direction, you hold sway,
You weave the fabric of geometry,
A silent yet profound symphony.
In equations, you're the silent thread,
Binding worlds as mathematicians tread,
Linear, polar, or three-dimensional,
You're the essence of mathematical creation.
On globes, you span the earth so wide,
Latitude and longitude at your side,
Navigation's faithful guide,
Across oceans and mountainside.
In physics' realm, you're a cornerstone,
Defining space-time, where theories are sown,
Einstein's relativity, Maxwell's light,
In your embrace, they take their flight.
And in the arts, you find your way,
Pixels on screens in a digital display,
Creating images, games, and art,
A canvas where creativity imparts.
O wondrous point upon the plane,
Invisible yet your influence reigns,
Mathematics, science, art, and more,
You're the unseen thread that ties the lore.
So here's to you, coordinate divine,
In every realm, your value shines,
In numbers and equations, you reside,
A timeless symbol of human stride.
