The poem offers a more inspirational and comforting view of death. The person who has passed away is leaving this message to her loved ones. Although her body is buried, she is no longer there. She has moved on to a better place and she wants those left in mourning to remember that she is not gone forever.
She will still be with them in memory and thought. She does not want anyone to be sad after her death. She says that she is at a better place so why does anyone need to feel sad for her, when actually she is better off.
This person is expressing all the ways she is still present and uses different aspects of nature that symbolize freedom, happiness and relief. Her family can think of her when they see the snow or feel the wind. The Author says that she will shine like a sun which will make the grain as ripened themselves. Also she compares as the gentle autumn rain, which will keep her happy. Now, the author compares the morning rush that awake her and graceful birds flying around in circles and stars standing out against a dark sky. She is telling her family and near and dear ones that she is always around her. It is just that they have to change their thoughts and the way they see and feel the things around. She will be there, very near to them, and will always be available whenever they want to see her and feel her. She is among them in every natural being created by the God.
