Edwina Reizer Poems

A family is love
That puts itself above
Everything else in this world.
...

I wonder as I look around
at all the beauty that I've found.
I've found it in the smallest places.
I've found it in the smiles on faces.
...

How can I know what I can't see?
It's never been a part of me.

How can I know what I can't hear?
...

When I see a tree cut down
whose life was not yet done
I look upon it with a frown
and then look at the sun.
...

Life is a game at which we play.
We make our moves on every day.

Some are right and some are wrong.
...

When the lion roars and makes himself heard
all in the jungle shall listen
As he stalks his prey from hunger he feels
on his face his eyes do glisten.
...

Amelia, Amelia where did you go?
They’ve searched and searched
but still we don’t know.
Oh the courage to fly in the air
...

Peace, please come to me.
I am the earth,
the land and the sea.
I'm home to the animals
...

Liar, liar we see the fire
coming from your mouth each day.
The fire that burns the truth
as we struggle along our way,
...

The frightened ballerina,
standing on her toes
stood behind the curtain
in a dainty pose.
...
