The Heart in Mourning (poem)
The Heart in Mourning
Bring your gift to the door.
Even if all you have
is your sorrow,
the pain of the
flower crushed
in the road,
the child shivering
along the wayside.
Know that grief is enough.
Your offering
will be taken,
exalted
into the highest place.
The heart in mourning is
its own blessing.
