Stephen Hawking: A Portrait Of A Physicist Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Stephen, when I saw him,
Something held me with awe and surprise
Awe in
Seeing him sitting painfully
But with so much curiosity,
Delving into the strange phenomena,
Pain for being in a wheel-chair,
Btu instead of the handicap,
He exploring and exploring,
Delving into
The space and the origin of universe,
Dealing with the science of space and physics,
Light and darkness,
Talking intellectually,
Solving the sums of life and the world
Lying riddles and puzzling.

An innocent face so intellectual and reasonable,
He viewing from the specs,
Stephen Hawking,
The physicist, intellectualist,
The particle reader,
Atom analyser
Warning against human greed and stupidity
And pollution
Turning fatal and disastrous,
Climate change and global warming,
So knowledgeable and factual
And intellectual.

Refreshening the memories of
Galileo, Copernicus, Archimedes and Newton,
A high mind
Delving far
With his knowledge of
Applied mathematics,
Theoretical physics,
Astronomy
And cosmology
And noting down
The radio actives and frequencies,
Shock waves felt across
Gathered even from aliens and UFOs.
