My Land

This is my land. 
I will cultivate, love, and cherish my land. 
I will choose when Spring will come, 
I will choose my own Husbandman, 
I will choose if there be none, 
I will choose when the rain will be,  
And choose if and who will plant a seed. 

This is my land. 
My soil will nourish, protect, and feed. 
My soil may remain fallow, 
My soil gives the fruit we need, 
My soil should be hallowed. 
My soil from a will that's freed,
You have no power over me. 

This is my land. 
You have fought, died, and thrown your gold. 
You value this above most things. 
You may scorn this fertile female soul, 
You may deny my right to be, 
You may try to wrest control,
But this land belongs to me. 
Inheritance from the King of Kings, 
Yes, this land belongs to me.

Sorrow Goes Tomorrow

Jeff will be coming tomorrow 
To kick out my crushing sorrow.
I don’t wish to again borrow;
Face anew an Angry Zorro
Or to the Stinking Rich “Hello!”
Mocking tongues to voice “Smart Fellow!”

He’s surfacing tomorrow
To expel the longest sorrow:
From my forehead quit each furrow;
Into shell hardship shall burrow…

Yet, Lord God’s Name I shall hallow
And Christ along link with halo;
My New Bible not leave fallow…

I will have become hollow
By the time Jeff like Christ follow…

Acorns Fallow

Acorns fallow
where do squirrels feed
Snowdrops late this year
The seasons awry
and still we feel the cold
as the arcane wind barricades
itself amongst the pummelled fence
Here a strange madness begins to find out
its root of dreams
amongst the dying trees

Premium MemberThe Fallow Fields

When rhymes forsake me, my pen's then bled dry;
     and eloquent lines rich in metaphor
die before the inkwell's used up, here and by:
     for the once-teeming storehouse reservoirs
of song flee my page, though write in hope I try!

“How to awaken the dead muse again?”
     I plead. “O what answer, what remedy
are main: the keys to my mind's creative drain!?”
     So, in distress, to God I make my plea.

I let the tired fields of my mind lie fallow:
     and as time passed, my pen regains its powers;
so new strains sing unwan and unsallow,
     and antique odes on clouds and daffodil flowers

may refresh this infant, newborn sonnet,
with life from this present time, and planet.

Premium MemberMist My Fallow Ground I'M Freed I Am Unbound

On this day, my tears run;
Raining down on fallow ground;
To break up soil;
So that my soul;
My soul be... Unbound;
 once lost now I'm found~ Amen ~

Premium MemberThe Relevance of Last Winter

The Relevance of Last Winter
David J Walker

The acrid odor of a 
Butane fueled 
        space heater 
Seemed better 
than freezing 
In the sub-frigid air 
of a February 
        prairie 
               winters 
day

We set fire 
	To dried mesquit limbs
Cleared from 
an adjacent pasture
last summer
It seemed better  
than freezing 
In the March wind
Bending its way
Into a town of little interest 

By 4 pm
	The light was failing
ice was forming 
On the tractors casings
Ours 
	Were the only lives
Exposed 
	To the
Mercies of the miseries 
Of a winter storm 

The small farmhouse 
	Stood alone 
The warm refuge 
At the end of a field 
	Of long fallow rows 
Awaiting 
	The next seasons 
	Best efforts

Fallow Ground
Written: by Miracle man
September 4, 2021

Lord, In fallow ground we grub and sow,
Concerned for friends who’ve gone astray.
While we may hydrate, you make seed grow,
please help these friends back into your way.

Now feeling deserted, they exist day by day,
avoiding old friendships that once were strong.
Life circumstances may have gotten in the way, 
perhaps thinking there’s no place they belong.

But whatever the problem You will forgive,
when they seek Your face and in truth repent.
For it’s only in you Lord, that we begin to live,
and time spent in prayer is time well spent.

We must learn to clear our hearts of weeds,
* and among the thistles let us cease to sow.
Making our hearts ready for righteousness seeds,
then You will hydrate and make them grow.

Jeremiah 4:3
“For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.”

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

Fallow Dreams

Politics…
Fertilizing corruption
With the reseeding
Of lies
Upon dreams
That grow fallow
Upon dreams
That grow bare

Premium MemberMia's Fallow

A frustrated housewife called Mia
Wore nighties so skimpy and sheer
There’s no roll in the clover
Hubby snored and turned over
His impotence is her greatest fear

Yesterday I saw a pic of actress Mia Farrow and had a bit of fun with the word play with her name

Fallow With Folded Arms

NOTHING HAS CHANGED
IT'S STILL THE SAME
AS BEFORE YOU WERE HERE
YOU WERE A LITTLE LIGHT
BUT THE BATTERIES DIED
AND I
IN THE NARROW REALM
OF UNCERTAINTY
AWAIT YOUR DECISION
A DEPARTURE
WITHOUT QUESTION
I'LL GO
BUT I MADE A LITTLE SUN
IN YOUR DARK SKY
GUESS I BLINDED YOU
WITH THE BRIGHTNESS.

Premium MemberWhen Life Becomes Fallow

WHEN LIFE BECOMES FALLOW

The still frozen nothingness ancient
Transformed into the universe nascent
Matter formed from the fringe of silence
The creative core of cosmic sense
The depth of voids in all things’ essence
The creator’s unique space they represent.

Within everything that exists
The universal voidness still persists
In the depth of the living mind
Of the evolved race of mankind
Filled to the brim with emotions blind,
Life gets attached although conscience resists.

The full sky hangs its clouds low
They melt in storm, make the sad sky hollow,
Happy trees green in the spring
Don’t hear the birds flying near sing
When in fall the dry leaves grow wing
Life plunged in barrenness turns fallow.

Lost in wasteland the clouded mind grieves
Molten emotion drains in tears, emptiness it leaves,
Let the soul clear the delusion
From the mind captive in seclusion,
Free the mind, open the devout clear vision
Know how peace from emptiness life retrieves.

Fallow Their Dream

Do you know the vision of stars?
Why the appear with blinking light
They spread light in whole sky
And go hide with the rise
Everything do a living desire
Every action create reaction
Everyone living thing involve
In the natural process 
Everyone working with reason
So understood the reason
Do strike with clear vision
Your face telling me your story
About your search about your imagination
Work on objective is natural process
Every living thing fallow their dream
