Atara Gedalowitz Poems

Dance, Dance
To the music
Dance, Dance
To the beat
...

I'm feeling down inside
My face I wish to hide
I can't fully express
This inner stress
...

Train me to think
Then I will wonder
Train me to wonder
Then I will blunder
...

Away, away
So far away
It happens
...

Have you ever raced against
Someone so much speedier
That the difference between you two
Was between glacier and meteor
...

Paper is beauty
If you look with
Your heart
Your mind
...

Seconds, seconds, seconds.
What an odd sort of thing -
The way we let our lives tip.
Step and pace so cyclically.
...

This is for you
Yes you, over there,
You, the one who’s brushing her hair
And you on the street
...

I am what I am because I am, Right?

Or is it because of what I have done? Confusion
The impact I have made?
...

Carry me slowly,
Carry me softly,
Carry me far away
...
