I do not fear you death, <br />Or your cold embrace. <br />I do not fear your fetid breath, <br />Or fear to see thy face. <br /> <br />You hold no power over me, <br />That I don't choose to give. <br />I know that what must be will be, <br />I'll never fear you while I live. <br /> <br />I won't spend my time thinking of you, <br />I have better things in mind. <br />I have so many things I have to do, <br />So many things to find. <br /> <br />And when you finally come to call, <br />I will not hide from you. <br />I will weather it like all the squalls, <br />That day I will not rue. <br /> <br />For tis the destiny of man, <br />To meet thee face to face. <br />So I'll live serenely while I can, <br />While I wait for your embrace. <br /> <br />1/11/12 Alton Texas<br /><br />Juan Olivarez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-do-not-fear-you-death/
