What Is The Silence Of This Long Day For? Poem by Shalom Freedman

What Is The Silence Of This Long Day For?



What is the silence of this long day for?
What is the inner nothingness for?
What I am for?
What is my life for?

Once there were days of meaning
And now endless time stretches before me
With nothing to do in it-

Oh to be old and useless
Is not the joy of life
But to not even be able to pretend one is doing something
This is the emptiness which is even worse.
