Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen Poet Quatrain

Two Predators

A world within a world
Beneath the deep blue sea,
Diverse ecosystems.
God organized a mystery.

An ocean of stored water,
Recycles through the air.
Worlds apart, together,
Thriving without a care.

Rain to drop upon the earth,
As man and fish survive.
Evaporates, falls fresh again.
All glad to be alive.

Amid the food chain life goes on.
Automatically –
The natural world where life did spawn,
Continues genetically.

Eons passed, extinctions came.
Mankind thrived, explored.
Face to face, though not the same.
Two predators watch…in accord.
