Fallow

I always wondered who planted them in the neighboring field, a double row of yellow daffodils, up each spring, winding toward nothing, as if arriving at an invisible porch, invisible house.

voices echoing
deep in woods
lives we might have lived

    When I read the line “lives we might have lived’ I thought of “The After Hours’ on Netflix Streaming, The Twilight Zone: Season 1 Episode 34.

    Grand_! Too, as thoughts echo from each blossom, a new sense of life; nature's lead.

    we fallow
    through this earth's new blooms
    each thought.

    I might make it more immediate:
    voices echo
    deep in woods
    lives we might still lead
