Rainbows and Science
Rainbows and Science
Some poets believe
Scientists crippled rainbows’ aura,
When logic extended Newton’s
Earthly apple onto heavenly orbs.
Deduction led to clear thinking
Lifting hopes and dreams,
Yet uncertain facts, not physics’ hard numbers
Hobbled their reasoning machine.
Explanations and projections diverged
Until creativity connected mental strands.
From finches in Galapagos
To destinies of homo sapiens.
Defying singular understanding.
