The Scientist

The darkness still’d the solitude
Midst many a brilliant machine
The scientists complacent indeed
With scope of time he’d seen.

He switched the gear with a key
Complying with his logic
The sovereign laws expressed themselves
In mathematical magic.

Full bright a light was shot to scene
Like fire in solar rim
The scientist obstructed the light
And the light obstructed him.

Came now here to the distant hues
Of futuristic time
Which far from home and universe
Did further future mime.

The fate of all the lands left by
Will come to what I say
The scientist did bewildered see
What can’t be said today.

And then he saw the crimson sky
Fill’d with a glossy gleaming glow
And all a wireless universe
Of current seemed to flow

The vitreous and spectral wind
Overshadowed a cloudy prime
He switched the gear with a key
And forwarded further through time.

And then much upper fear in next stage
Or some another fly
Yet pragmatic he lit his ink
In lands left far by.

He saw him and his grandfather
Aft trailing the circle of seconds
A lost voice once again did come
Ambling in the carriage of winds.

Once again the glimmering crystals
Hung from the throat of sky
The bywent soul through dint of pen
Now stood nearby.

As Drake from the sail of globe,
Stopped the Golden Hind
The scientist through the brilliant machines
Watched the dawn unwind.
