Notes About The Poem
This poem is a collaborative effort. My gracious, wonderful collaborator is Robertina B. She provided the inspiration for this poem with the haunting line (below) from her poem "Deathbed," previously posted on her site:
...not the death, but the dying...
What Awaits Us
The Anticipation is worse
Than the thing itself:
'Tis the fear, not the flying--
'Tis not the death, but the dying.
