Donald Prather on election night 2012 at OFA Reno headquarters. Donald volunteered more than a year 10, 20, 30 hours a week for the president’s campaign.
Long hours, many months
Unpaid to rebuild justice
In a hard nation.
Obama Volunteer
Citizens
Voting day sunrise
Warms our working together
As we hope for good.
The Next Day
Your glasses sit here
In the dark, pre-dawn morning
Witness to plans, dreams.
Standard Time
Cave Rock, Lake Tahoe, Nevada
Falling back, yet life
Speeds ahead while the blind curves
Blur in happy turns.
Change
Waiting to inhale.
Hours and days tick slowly;
Corner bending sight.
All Souls
Albert C. Cizauskas – 1948 (1920-2002)
Remembering love
Bright and warm like sunrise rays
Over the desert.
Blessed Samhain
Ticolino – 16 August 2010
Veil lifts, connecting
To beloveds far and here –
Every soul a saint.
Twelve Seconds
Cardinal visit.
Remind: joys past and future –
The eternal voice.
Not Joy
Because you settled
For money and emptiness,
You try to demean.
You Understand
Wishing she had strength.
Paradox: loved ones are glad
Of her cowardice.
