Moonlit Scholar

My mind's glued to the notes Pages turn, the night's a host You wouldn't know me in the day Through equations, through equations I trace my thoughts in lead Hear the physics, softly calling Beyond the stars, I pen my name Newton's laws all play their game Every moment, tied by laws In the stillness, in the stillness My pencil moves with force Feel the universe's course Atoms dance in tangled light In the textbooks where I plight Galaxies within my head Through formulas, through formulas There's romance in every line Kinetic worlds as my design Chorus: Oh, the gravity of thoughts so deep In the moon's hush, my mind leaps Every problem's a riddle, each solution a key In the library’s glow, in the library’s glow Verses of potential, potential From rest to motion, the scholar's creed
