Epiphany comes
When a soul’s aware that it’s
An offshoot of God.

Listen to poem:

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...

Again,
talking of your blue blood,
and your mythical images,
in the domain
of fiction.

It was not,
a hunger offshoot,
of the yellow metal and 
brown body. Something was sinister
in the loud slogans.

The God’s images,
were for sale on the lake’s beach.
Huddles together, small stones
enveloped in fog,
wait for the burial.

dimwit damping desires
punctured passion pulsing
puking, sopped plenary
impregnated zeal gnashing
odd offshoot scolding

cremated cusses cobbling
hewn nosy tracery
strapped self scrunching

jumpy jazz jolting
mystic mist moaning
lusty limbs lurching

felon feigning ally;
perforated pulpy pedigree.

With the rules she is quite savvy
Yet she has to pay a levy
She knows for a fact
The weight is exact
But, madam, she is top-heavy.

Humming Sorrow 

(Replaces 'a' with 'q') 

Seeping smogged smithereens in mqrrows, 
Cqllous pqin hums hymnql sorrow:
Junk jive embroidered with crescendoes, 
Rough rhythms in reefs grow
Qs the offshoot red glow. 

Eqrs fqr qwqy heqrd
The music crescendoes bled. 
Into pity, heqrts moved. 
Sixth octqve,  notes improved. 

Teqrs trqiling trqcks, 
Pqin pqsting pqts, 
Music melting mqss. 

Music fqdes. 
Then cqme,  

Wqils.
