O Newton!
What must be in His Mind when you thought of an apple falling from a tree!
a mystery of sweet Nature
unveil'd from a Genius's mind
one flash of a brilliance
brighter than a thousand stars burn'd
a moment frozen for a destiny
a soul's eternal wish for an eternity
That moment
the sun, the moon, the planets and the stars
looked at you in a bewitched glance
spellbound as if in a slip of a balance
from their orbits
looking far far away, they whispered to each other
in great bewilder
For they had never seen
never perceived
ever felt
such an outrageous thought amongst all the bizzare events
that happen every day in their cosmic world
never heard a song so melodious from the heart of their Universe
Whilst the mother earth caressed your starlit mind in utmost care!
