Be you scientist or poet, whatever your art,
What drives your devotions has the very same start.
It’s WONDER: a fundamental muse to us all,
When absent, focus scatters as leaves in a squall.
The Lyricist can capture this wonder in verse;
While science quantifies it, for better… or worse.
So methods of description have set you apart,
Regardless of this, both flow from the heart.
I put to you, science is wonder understood,
While poetry describes it as nothing else could.
