Watch the marble spin

Watch it change from blue to green

Green to blue

Mountains pile high

Upon curious eyes

It behaves erratic

For it’s nothing better to do

Surrounded by naked walls

And empty space

It revolves while staying in one place.

The author's comments:
Well i was just thinking about how the world is so complex, but can be broken down to simpler terms. Also still retain it's beauty, but in a more comfortable setting for the average person. So i combined some literary elements, specifically imagery and metaphors, to explain the elements of this place we call home aka Earth.
