Transcending death

Of course, you don't want to let go
unless you have to, but occasionally
it is very healthy to just leave it all,
let go of everything and take a thorough time out
even from your life, if nothing else
to just enjoy the interesting experiment
of finding out what will survive of you.
Some say the personality is dead the moment
you desert your body leaving it to dust,
while others say death will imply no change at all.
It's up to you. Your choice is free.
To me, death seems like something of a trip
To the unknown, perhaps and probably without return,
but it will always lead you somewhere.
It is certainly worth doing now and then
especially if you are certain that you will return.
