no crops this year

not unlike farm land,

the wide

plowed field,

it needs a rest,

as we do. it needs

to be nourished

again.

let a season go without

planting.

let the soil

get rich and healthy once

more.

wait, be patient.

the earth will take care

of it with

what falls from the sky

whether rain

or shine.

give it a rest. take heed.

life will grow once more.
