SUMANA SAHA
He brooded in darkness
Where there is no one else
Not a voice,
Not a soul,
Nor the warmth of another heart.
Darkness………
Solitude………..
There were no doors to be opened,
No locks to be turned.
There was only the thick, dark night
Where he fumbled and found nothing.
The thing he touched………
The thing he felt……….
Was he himself.
No problem is beyond solution
With this science exists
Without this the science dies
He was the ultimate scientist
How could he refuse the calling?
He created a mighty dream of his own
A hypothesis of a new world
He tormented himself
And tried to find a way.
At last the time came
When the answer dawns.
The time has come to destroy
The darkness, the loneliness, the sorrow
The experiment must begin
Leaning forward he gazed into the dark and said,
“Let there be light”
and there was light.
