This is a beautiful poem by H.H. Shachinandan Swami. It never appeared to me that even death would feel grateful to touch the one who chants the Holy Name. He too would be awe-inspired, and thankful to be aloowed to come in contact with a devotee. This is such a sweet, relieving, profound realization.  And of course ingenious.

All right death, here I am
come take me in your arms.

I have drawn
a luminous circle
with Krishna’s holy names
around me.

When you hold me
you will feel the ecstatic touch
of my Lord’s lotus feet on your heart
and you will tremble
with divine love.

Remembering that Krishna’s names
give auspicious benedictions to all,
who needs to fear
anything or anyone?
