Shalom Freedman Poems

Every day has its own endless struggle
Every day its own morning light
Every day ts distant darkness
Every day its fear of night.
...

The last poem will never be written
So long as I live
I will need the lines to come
An addiction perhaps
...

THE MORNING HAS A DIFFERENT LIGHT

The morning has a different light
Dreams come in it
...

AND BY THESE WORDS I JUSTIFY THIS DAY

And by these words I justify this day
And by these words I justify my life
...

I do not know where these words come from
I write them as if I really exist-

The latest research proclaims Hume right
...

WE LOVE THIS LIFE MORE

We love this life more
When we sense we will have to leave it soon
...

Thanks to my wife
I largely am not lonely
Thanks to my wife
I have a home
...

IN EACH TORMENTED DYING

In each tormented dying
Of friend and neighbor
...

IT IS WRITING THAT I NEED

It is writing that I need
Whether it is a poem or not
...

I AM HAPPY TODAY

I am happy today
In my own quiet way
...
