Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune--without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

~Emily Dickinson

The dead don't share.
Though they reach towards us
from the grave (I swear
they do) they do not hand their hearts to you.
They hand their heads,
the part that stares.

~Stan Rice

Clouds appear
and bring to men a chance to rest
from looking at the moon.
