#Tanka: The Gate
When the hand of fate
dares steal my very last breath
will you be waiting
at heaven’s gate to welcome
me to sweet eternity?

This is just exquisite and so heartwarming! It depends, My Dear! Depends which one of us gets there first! I’ll be there if I’m there! Bellissimo, Linda!

Trying to recall if you were the one that suggested the book “A Poetry Manual” by Mary Oliver? It’s a great book.
