Atara Gedalowitz Poems

I stand on a past,
A past that's quite filled
Filled with lies
Filled with truth
...

How could I really know what it means to be alive
I am just barely not a child
Have I really learned to strive
My life's been rather mild
...

Enter here
And feel the fear
Of desperate dismal dismay
Of those who wish to be free
...

Are you wiser than any man
Or richer than any child?
Can you sing, tie a sling,
Or be calm when all is wild?
...

I will, I won't,
I do, I don't
I can't make up my mind
I am, I'm not,
...

Someone who cares when you're up
Someone who cares when you're down
Someone who when you mess up
Will give a smile instead of a frown
...

We think we have all the time in the world
To play out silly games
We think we have all the time in the world
So we stray to selfish aims
...

Every Journey has a beginning,
Has a goal.
A goal that is changed and reformed along the way.
We get lost on our Journeys,
...

It's just a skipping,
A skipping of beats,
Beats in my chest,
Thumps hardly missed -
...

To sleep upon the eagle's wings,
And dream of flying high.
To soar beyond all mundane things;
Make real the longing sigh.
...
