Conundrum

To speak of faith is not easy.

The morning wears a smile
as if it expects advances.
It’s the kind of face
that excited adventurers wear.

But back to faith.
The temperature outside is zero
and you have to go.
You know
you will do what’s expected,

even as you know
the joy you feel is an extra,
nothing that you do.
