Future

Ten million years from now when we become mature
When Earth rotates much slower around a faded sun
Turned orange with flares of yellow visible to the eye
People will find true love in their metallic selves

Seven fingers will emerge to manage many tasks
To hold the hands of alien partners from the stars

From the past the moon will have moved on by then
An oval shape in orbit forever traveling with indifference
Beyond our reach and touch in favor of the elliptic distance
Elegant on the horizon, elongated on the dawn 

Brains will grow larger over time to think
To form into blue crystal fluid usage machines

Five million years farther into the future to the second
On a Saturday evening in late September at 8:00 pm
Tardigrades will merge with human metallic beings
Deep inside the womb where symbioses matters happen

Evolution allows mankind to orbit about themselves
In the vast design to form a more perfect mechanism
Encrypted for their desired use into the future

An unforgiving sun burns on at the core
Looks down on us no more or less than human
In nature all things take their course
In five million years or more


Note:  Tardigrades (water bears) are small, really tiny, actually micro animals with segmented bodies. They are usually water-dwelling creatures but can be found in a myriad of places like Antarctic ice, deep in ocean beds to a depth of 14,000 ft, high up in Himalayas at a height of 20,000 ft, tree barks, moss and more! Virtually indestructible, capable of surviving a direct nuclear bomb blast.
