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.
Angel Gabriel
All day on the phone
Sharing the good news of you –
Voices tinged with joy.
Winter Watch
First snowfall, Old Southwest Reno, Nevada – Saturday, 10 November 2012
Watching first snowfall
Softly saying change coming:
Season of love’s light.
For Barbara
Carol Cizauskas and Barbara Dieringer – Reno, Nevada, 2010
Dim light surrounding
Meal, glasses toasting, warm smiles
Of sister-friend’s joy.
