Edwina Reizer Poems

If only we could keep
those moments from slippin' away,
grab hold of them and cherish them
and try to make them stay.
...

Great man of your time,
poet of verse and poet of rhyme
you let the white man know
how easy it is to let go
...

When does a boy become a man?
Only when he understands
that who he is has never changed.
His priorities are just rearranged.
...

A portrait of beauty is what he bought,
Not knowing what lay ahead.
He was captivated by the face and eyes
That he stared at from his bed.
...

As night time approaches and I lie abed
I wish for dreams to come into my head.
Dreams that will carry me far beyond
Regular occurrences to which I respond,
...

Each year I await your long journeyed flight.
And magically you appear before my sight.
Strong, yet fragile you've come to stay
where the warmth will draw you towards my way.
...

If I hold a grain of sand
so tiny in my hand
it makes me sensitive and I understand
that is just like me.
...

Sister, sister where are you?
Since you left I've been so blue.
Are you someplace, someplace near?
Are you someplace better than here?
...

Who's going to judge me when I die?
No one else other than I.
For who knows better what I have done?
I can't think of anyone.
...

Born with a legacy he had to fulfill
his life was constantly marching uphill.
Until he could reach the mountain top,
he realized this was something he never could stop.
...
