I did not know the work of mourning
Is a labor in the dark
We carry inside ourselves.

Edward Hirsch

Look closely and you will see
Almost everyone carrying bags
Of cement on their shoulders
That's why it takes courage
To get out of bed in the morning
And climb into the day.

Edward Hirsch

I wish I could believe in the otherworld
I wish I could believe in a place
Of reunions outside of memory.

Edward Hirsch
