Edwina Reizer Poems

Even as the sun
remembers to rise,
My body is reminded
to open up my eyes.
...

Silence can be empty
or fill a glorious night.
Silence can be lonely
or awaken strange delight.
...

Out of the corner of my eye
I cannot see full vision.
So sometimes my eyes play tricks on me
And I blink to get precision.
...

A diploma hanging on the wall
is really not you at all.
It's just a piece of paper.
...

Every flower that's ever lived
has had its bloom, then died.
The beauty was while blooming.
It's how it's identified.

and rocked all night.

He was so uptight.
...

Oh my love, if I could make a special place
just for you and me,
I'd make it one that was beautiful
and wonderful to see.
...

Sweet little babe asleep in the night
with a smile upon your face.
Oh to be able to see what you dream
and to capture just a trace
...

She worked the counter
at the local diner.
He worked in the caves.
He was a miner.
