Nature is knowledge

a poem by Pavalamani Pragasam

Physics and Chemistry are
Laws of motion and reaction,
Botany and Zoology are
The character of flora and fauna,
Maths and Astronomy are
Number games and distance calculations,
Multitude of medical branches are
Membering the body bossed by the brain.
Nature is an ocean
Of boundless knowledge.
Bit by bit, man does learn it-
Meek and humble
Like a child picking shells on the beach,
Awed by Nature’s intricate complexity
Shrouded in seeming simplicity.
