A Marble

A marble:
Delicate, beautiful, alone.
On this marble,
Within its forests,
Its oceans,
Its skies,
Live thousands of unique,
Alluring,
Magical wildlife.
The falsetto of joyous birds,
The sonorous rumbling of tall, majestic trees,
Fish playing in deep azure oceans,
Ants crawling and scavenging beneath our feet.
Despite the beauty of this celestial marble,
It can be shattered all too easily.
It is up to us, with our power,
To cradle this marble,
Not to break it.
