Parallel Trees

Parallel Trees

A Poem by E.J. Waling

Parallel trees.

Those who

never were.

Generations, 

family 

genealogies 

severed,

cut, 

pruned 

out of

existence.

Wars.

Famines.

Plagues.

Millions

die.

Many 

generations,

millions 

more never

born.

Severed

from time.

Never 

born here.

Parallel 

places 

they reside.

Family 

branches 

passing 

through.

Dimensionally 

traveled.

Existing 

in different

realms.

All possibilities 

play out.

Genealogies 

propagating 

on different 

worlds,

different 

trees.

Infinitely

interconnected.

Parallel

trees.

All that

could be,

have been.

Will be.

Strange,

strange 

existence

it be!
