Fallow Field
~~~
Our minds are like the fallow field
Overgrown when left on their own
The truth of ourselves unrevealed
In all the brambles time has grown
~~~
The lesser die, the greater thrive
In the potpourri of our minds
Weeds and flowers are both alive
One is just much easier to find
~~~
Farmers with plows each season
Turn under the rooted earth
New, rich soil is the very reason
The field has inherent worth
~~~
Change is how we find the good
With the coming of each new spring
If we plant the seeds we should
The yield can be inspiring
~~~
So, tend your field, steward well
Nothing grows when left untilled
Change is where new thoughts dwell
And fallow dreams left unfulfilled
~~~

important to not let it go –
Thanks, Beth! Have a great week!
Another one for the entire world should read this list! I love the analogy and it flows so smoothly. Well done, my friend!
How do we get them to read the list? 😁 Thank you, my friend!
That’s the million dollar question!
I love the visuals that these words create!
Thanks, sis! Love you!
This speaks so beautifully to me! How do I choose a favorite? This is one! “Weeds and flowers are both alive…One is just much easier to find.”
Thank you, Karla!
My pleasure, Brad!
Beautiful thoughts beautifully versed. Simply lovely.
Thanks, Yassy!
Welcome, Brad.
I had to look up what fallow meant, and it seems like it is often a good idea to let fields lay fallow. That may suggest that it may be good to sometimes sit with our thoughts and not do anything for a bit…
It is common to allow a field to lay fallow so that it can recover the nutrients it lost from all the crops that had come before. I love your analogy to how we can sit with our thoughts before taking any action. Thank you, Jim!
I made an analogy?! that would be a first 🙂
I don’t think it is your first, but I will celebrate the achievement with you, nonetheless.
