Who Knows How A Depression Ended Today? Poem by Shalom Freedman

Who Knows How A Depression Ended Today?



Who knows how a Depression ended today?
A good sleep?
Eating something substantial after the sleep?
Just getting out of one mode and into another?
The breaking of a heat wave?
A different time of day?
A piece of good news?

I don't know the answer
I only know that now
As opposed to a few hours ago
I do not feel wholly empty and lost,
I do not feel as if I have no idea of what to do,
And whatever I do is meaningless-

I don't know how
It's over for now-
Thank G-d
And I am writing these words as if I believe in myself again.
