QUEST

By Harihara Mahadevarao Dhruvakumar

"Have you seen mercury?" said my daughter,
Sprinkling on a wide green leaf sparkling water.
Leaf swayed between her small hands up,
Making the drops to move as if in a cup.
Recalled I the memories of my school days,
Teacher conducting truths in science class,
Sure to make many understand the subject,
Showing the quick mercury as the object.
A bright, non-sticky liquid metal mercury
That's what my daughter fond of its query.
Dilemma existed: Science in Nature or Nature in Science?
Of course,'Nature loves Science eversince Her existence.

Lines,curves,chemicals,reactions are out of wit;
Nature makes the things remember a bit.
