Young Einstein
Through youthful flights, you pursued light
past other observations blurred
envisioning velocities
impossible to be inferred
and proved to dreamers they were right
to give imagination wings
and chase strange thoughts outside the known
and soar above what once was shown
so science hears as vision sings
of theories glimpsed beyond the binds
where narrow sights confining minds
divide us where we might relate.
How you remind us to suppose
and commend us to create!
