The Life Around Us

by Quinn Allen-Brezsnyak
                                                                    
The mountain high, the ocean low
the peak above, the sea below
but nature keeps the balance though
from birds to worm, from fish to fox 
from great tall oaks, to little rocks
the dull gray one, the gem so rare
that when you see, you always stare.
Life is all around us, though.
found in the fire, and in the snow.
Life is all around us, see?
We stand as one in harmony.
