Unbidden
Woman,
no one asked you
into my world of pain.
I did not want to love again.
Don't go!
I'm glad
you didn't wait for me to ask
you if you could love me.
My joy is that
you came.
Denis M. Garrison
Tides of Night
Amber
moon breaks weakly
through the darkling nimbus.
These sodden fields seem ruined by storm
and night;
but, having been saving-soaked, they
await the faithful sun.
They’ll leap to meet
first light!
Denis M. Garrison
