In the Fallow Ground

In The Fallow Ground David J Walker Can the seeds planted in Old soil Really grow Is the ground long used Still fertile or is The water a waste of time It seems the passing seasons Come quicker but take Longer to yield The equinox is slower The Summer Solstice cooler As I am growing older Older and slower and cooler Soon colder As if nature Is asking me to offer my body And Lay me down in the Fallow ground And let the Garden grow over
