AMAZE

Denis Garrison
When the Pain Stops

Warm day
after the snow--
cool damp breeze balmy on
my cheek as I try to forget
winter.
Wind Dancers

The wind
trembles the palms.
They sway in ancient time,
entwined softly in the waltz of
ages.
On Relativity

Passing
by the prison,
my boss bemoans his fate.
Work won't allow his summer cruise
this year.
Sunday with Friends

The pub,
late afternoon,
so many more voices.
The edges of everything fade
to gray.
Solitaire

Dark walk
breaks the silence.
Only my own footsteps
ring through the park. Again, tonight--
alone.
