The earth will still revolve around its axis Causing day and night on its surface The planet will still elliptically circle the sun Causing the seasons, life's nourishment The rain will still fall, and the rivers flow The plants will still grow and fruit and flower The birds will still sing, and the insects hum Mammals and the animals will still roam amid The forests that will still lushly cover the land The oceans, where the life began, will churn Continuing with its amazing eco system Of abundant blue green algae, krill and coral Teaming with microbes, fish and mammals Life will continue to evolve with each passing day Causing birth and rebirth and survival above all And upon extinction of one, others will be born
