Lines And Poems Poem by Shalom Freedman

AN OLD SINGER OF HIS OWN LONG SONG - that is a wonderful self projection! You can be gratified you articulated your own - perhaps final - self-image so clearly and completely. The four phrases at the end which define your humanity are precious and quietly triumphant. BTW I ended a poem with a projection of the self I want to be. It goes: I will be just zealous man who loves silence praying in an empty catholic church. And this old man will know from years of silent prayer how it hurts is how it heals. (Notice the c in catholic is lower case!)
