Death is a law, not a punishment
Death is only another adventure
Death like birth is a secret of nature
Death is a debt we all must pay
Death is the mother of beauty
Hence from her alone shall come, fulfillment
To all of our dreams
Death is more universal than life
Everyone dies but not everyone lives
Death is terrifying because
It is so ordinary and happens all the time
Death helps us to see
What is, worth trusting and loving
And what is a waste of time
Death the only immortal that treats us all alike
Whose peace and whose refuge are for us all
The soiled and the pure the rich and the poor
The loved and the unloved
Death either destroys us or unmasks us
If it means liberation better things awaits us when our burden is gone
If destruction nothing at all awaits us blessings and curses are abolished
Death’s stamp gives value to the coin of life
Making it possible to buy with life what is truly precious
Death, however, is a spongy wall, is a tricky river
Is nothing at all.

I am ready to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the ordeal of meeting me is another matter. - Winston Churchill
I've chose some quotes from all over and put them in this poem trying to explain death and what it means to me so maybe those are not my words but definitely they speaks for me.

You may have used quotes from many sources but you put them together beautifully. I love your last stanza.
