Listen to poem:
The Life of a Tree
The Life of a Tree
David J Walker
There was life left in the old tree
New branches growing from old limbs
The offshoot that sends new growth
Into the Spring soaking up the shine
Of the post equinox sun
There standing with a chainsaw
And sharpened ax
I could see what could be
In the life of a tree
Not done living
