Paul, this intriguing poem of yours could be interpreted in many ways and I could mention a couple more other than this one. There is a poem called 'Death Is Nothing At All'.

There are five more stanzas and they would fit beautifully in with 'Going Into A Dark Room'. So top marks for letting me think about it and at least find an interpretation for myself!
