Who is the more powerful?
The vengeful god
who delivers pain
and loss
and suffering?
Or those on whom
the pain and loss and suffering
are heaped upon
whose blind faith,
often pushed beyond any reasonable limit,
is the only thing
that keeps the god
alive?

How cold the morning tile
against bare feet.
I need slippers.

Or

A picture of a duck
standing on a frozen pond.

The wind is clueless.
It blows without thought,
or consequence.
It promises freedom
when there is none.
Not yet anyway,
for the tiny seed,
it's diaphanous tail
frozen

for a time

to an icicle
hanging from my porch roof
melting in the sun

The wind is cold this morning
and howls.
Frustrated perhaps that there is so much to do.
To move powder
from roofs,
decks
and lawns.
Heaping it in great dunes
against my windows,
on my porch
and at my door.

Is
Eyes make love
Heart is soul
Ever clicked on the Words link on the Hello Poetry home page? I did and this is what was created, such as it is, with some of the words ion the first line.

A house is not a home.
A mother can make it so.
But...
when mother is gone
home is house
and so is just a thing
for home is in your heart
so travels where ever you go.

Cold seeps
through windows
through the places where door meets frame
through spaces between floor boards.
No matter how high the thermostat is set
cold will get through
and wrap itself
around my feet
like an unwanted cat
made of snow and ice.
