DEATH'S DOOR

In times like such I find myself wondering;

WHAT IS DEATH??

Is it true what people say...

that in death comes peace

or do they just interpret it in their own way?

It it the start of a new life,

or is it all just a lie?

In Heaven will god call us by our names,

or in Hell we shall burn in eternal flames?

Is it a calm sleep of Peace and Serenity,

or of sufferings and an eternity of Misery?

I guess after all its our fate...

That decides whether we up in Gods Grace 

or with Devils hate.

so many Questions,

Answer to which we know none.

What exactly is death?

I guess we will never know

Or maybe we will, when it knocks on our DOOR.

I know a lot of people have lost their loved ones. As for me I am yet to witness that feeling. I myself have lost people in my life but none that were too close to me,or maybe i was too young back then, but whatever the case I am yet to experience that Sorrow, pain and hurt that people talk about. However the mere thought of it terrifies  me.

But why is there such a fear attached to death? why cant we just rejoice and celebrate the fact that a person has completed his/her journey in this world and has gone to a better place? Why cant we be happy over the fact that we got to know that person and got to experience life with them? These questions always wandered in my mind  and I guess the only answer I came up with was the bitter truth that  the pain and grief one feel at that particular moment is so intense that it overcomes everything. After all it is a human that we are losing, a person that we have loved, with whom we've had countless memories and these memories make it that much harder to let go. They Haunt us forever.
Its funny how some people prefer Death over Life, whereas on the other hand there are people who would give anything within their power just to live another day. But whatever may the case one thing that I've learned is that the person we loose dies once, those left behind die a thousand deaths, reliving all the moments.
 Maybe the ones we have loved and lost live somewhere in a parallel universe smiling over us, watching us accomplish our dreams. I guess viewing death in this way makes it a lot easier. Knowing that they are still with us, but the only difference is that we cant see, hear or feel them makes it easier to move on.

However the bitter truth of life remain constant: people live to die, death comes to all. Here, I would like to quote Aisha chaudary (The Sky is Pink);

"In the next hundred year all of us will be gone, just at different timings, some sooner than the others so then if death is the ultimate truth what should really matter most in life? To me it is happiness and happiness is a choice one makes. I can either choose to be happy or I can choose to be miserable"

 These lines have stayed with me ever since. So, after living our days on this earth let us only hope to accept death with a warm smile..

Let me conclude with these lines from one of my favorite TV show;

In Death comes Peace, 

but pain is the cost of living. 

Like Love, its how we know we're Alive!
