[hometext] => Imagining the horror of hearing a doctor say
[bodytext] => Lofty resistance greet cancer from lips trained to impart dire news. Ears not so trained to receive a sentence of death rebel and deny with eyes long after breath has been expelled. A stagger from the office with walls coated in displays, via degrees, why 'Doctor knows best', “Take the chemo please.” A round of pills and dripping I.V.'s, hot on heels on the gurney wheels spin to Radiation in hopes of killing that within slated to rob one's life- “Not me! No chemo, thank you please! When I die I want to see the sun- (Why God, do you take my life 'ere begun?) I will go my own way in my own time” So Brave! How will I be when MY Time arrives? It's here. Between golf at two and drinks at four my Doctor whispered in answer, “Not much more.” feet now lead, brain shocked to still the door jam has details not noticed before. All is large and the world is under a microscope as I absorb and deny my death in efforts to cope.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
