Hey, element

in my periodic table

let me narrate your properties

You are for real

tangible and palpable

with softness seeped in

and tenderness oozing out

brimming with piercing intelligence 

of basic nature-

of characters, conduct and events;

and nuanced understanding  

of their interplay.

With such self possession,

you may seem unmoving

but my precious one

the phenomena of you is such 

that i learnt chemistry from you,

my catalyst.

My noble element.
