    Well, after my grandma died
    And after reading Emily Dickinson's poems on death in college
    And experiencing too many dear hearts depart
    My perception of death changed drastically.


    Death is a great teacher
    For it has taught me the truth
    Living is part of dying and dying is part of living
    Detachment should be deeper than attachment
    Life on earth is like a trip to the Moon
    Learn and experience all you can
    To become one with Nature!


    So nothing to worry about
    For we are here on our soul's journey
    Simply enjoy the time together
    And shed the relationship forever
    Hence be prepared and conquer the fear of death
    For death is nothing but the movement
    From one stage to another.


    Sometimes our body - the residence of our soul
    Is worn out like a torn shirt
    And the act of shedding the shirt is called death
    Our soul like the Hermit crab
    Grabs another to fit suitably if needed
    Or otherwise merges with the Supreme!


    Death is only a passport to the other world
    It is our friend and not our foe
    For it helps us to go up the ladder of our soul's life!

    Thanks AMMA, There were two versions of this poem, I edited and posted it again, I don't know which one you read. I was a bit hesitant to post this but wanted to convey this message that I learnt from life.
