Newton's Apple

Isaac Newton, mind ablaze, under the orchard's gentle haze
Apple tree, a canvas green, pondering what the world had seen
A crimson orb, with sudden grace, detached itself from leafy space
A simple fall, a common sight, but sparked a question, burning bright

Why down, why not up, why straight and true?
A force unseen, a mystery to pursue
Gravity, they'd call it by and by
The universe held tight, by an invisible tie

From falling fruit to starry skies, Newton's thoughts began to rise
The force that pulls the apple down, holds planets in their cosmic crown
Motion's laws, a guiding hand, to understand this wondrous land
The groundwork laid, the path made clear, for future minds to conquer fear

Rockets built, on paper dreams, escaping Earth's confiding streams
Calculations true, with Newton's might, to pierce the darkness, claim the light
Centuries pass, the knowledge grows, a giant leap that mankind owes

One small step, a giant stride, on lunar dust, Neil Armstrong sighed
A testament to minds that dared, with Newton's law, the heavens shared
From orchard's peace to moonlit night, a single question, took us to the light
