Cranberry orange
Baking as winter rain pours;
Licking the batter.

Unknowing
Fear, love – how can they
Exist side by side, like two
Who are close as breath?
Quiet
Only the distant
November neighborhood sounds
Break into silence.
Best Friend
People, plans, parties …
Amidst the flurry I need
To rest in your heart.
Respite
South Meadows, Reno, Nevada – Friday, 16 November 2012
Soft November rain
In the desert promises
Downy pillows’ rest.
Prayers Answered
Cherry Hill Park, Falls Church, Virginia – Friday, 21 October 2011
Joy dissipates fog
Of age for mother whose girl
Is about to wed.
Promise
Touching the ring
In the middle of the night,
She knows she is loved.
Jewelled Journey
Donald Prather and Carol Cizauskas engaged on Wednesday, 14 November 2012
Promise of future
Spoken in hearts, then in words.
Soft light of diamonds.
Three Little Birds
Bob Marley
Waking from nightmares,
She phones you at three-forty.
You lull her with song.
Love’s Ride
Tilt-a-Whirl about,
Changes making us breathless,
Scared, thrilled by the ride.
