The Page Is Open Poem by Shalom Freedman

THE PAGE IS OPEN

The page is open
It waits for any new world
You can create upon it
It has been waiting for years
But with all the years and all the waiting
You have not created one new world
You believe will stand in time
And in the time left
With the page still open
You do not believe
You will create that world
And if you lived to the end of time
You do not believe that world will be yours
We can only be what G-d gives to us
And those not born with the higher power
Must go down to the end
Writing their way into infinite silence.
