In the Fallow Ground
Listen to poem:
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
