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.

Thank you, Joyce. I was so happy to have been picked. As you and many others know, Carolyn is such a good friend of mine and to have had her select my poem while judging blind made me feel wonderful! I think this is the highest I've ever ranked in one of her contests before. (Thanks again, Carolyn.)
