Shalom Freedman Poems

Where will God be?
When I can no longer do it anymore
When I have lost it completely
Where will God be?
...

I am waiting for calm-
I am waiting for another feeling entirely-
Now there is a breeze-
No I have a bench
...

I saw a sick friend today-
He is in constant discomfort-
...

I listen to the old Critic and know
I will never sing the song of his soul-
...

There is Hopelessness and there is Hope-
The Hopelessness is for oneself
The Hope is for younger generations-
...

The first line came from somewhere else-
The second came from the first
...

There are times in life
When all is so clear
...

There are writers I miss
Once a long time ago
They were my friends-
...

And hear a poem within myself
I know Life
Has a chance-
Maybe it will be alright
...

Listening to Rhapsody in Blue again
The Dreams the Tears the Memories-
All the feeling that brought us into being
And will never be anymore in this world-
...
