in the shadows

Any kindling feeds the hearth
from whence the flame in wonder grows
until it must by needs be left
butchered,
by the docile wind
that blows to drive the flaming
tongues that sear,
leaving ashes
in a cratered mind;

the fault lies not within the hearth,
nor in its kindling,
nor its kind;
nor should you wander
thunderstruck
at devastation
in your path;
seek out instead the hand
that struck the match
that lent itself to wrath.

I love it too!

Maree

fate is not just
whose cooking  smells good
but which way the wind blows

Good stuff, ice...good stuff. You don't shy away from depth, and you don't shy when tumbleweeds blow across the road.
