Why are we afraid of death?
When everlasting peace can only
be achieved through it?
If it is total freedom and
contentment we seek,
Then why are we afraid?
Death is a crossover
And the beginning of eternal life.
Death is like metamorphosis
When a caterpillar transitions
Into a butterfly.
It is like taking off your winter boots
When spring comes.
Although it is a bitter pill to swallow
And it is inescapable,
We must accept and not fear it.
It is, after all, the hand we are
dealt with.
Instead, pray and pursue a
road that makes death a fulfilment.
