A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning

This poem, if looked at from different angles, could be interpreted many different ways.  As question two inquires, what way between the two is correct: a journey or death? Even at the beginning, I presumed that this poem was going to be about death. "The breath goes not, and some say, no"(Donne, 801).  As I continued to read, I felt that death was a subject in the poem, though not the main one.  I believe one of the main topics being discussed is the connection two lovers have in their souls, not only their physical attractions.  In A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning, Donne is speaking about death in a way as if it was a journey that is taken by two in a way.  I had a difficult time understanding this completely, but I believe his similes about the foot are to explain that death is a journey that is started by one(the dying person) and carried on( the living person) by staying alive until they are both gone.  If this poem was looked at in the perspective that this was a normal, worldly journey, the feet would imply that one must bring the other along if they are to go anywhere.  However, because the journey being referenced here is one of a slightly different nature, I believe that Donne is trying to say that lovers are connected and tugged on even after death.  Finally, at the end, he makes the connection that this journey that he is taking is going to lead him to where he started out in the first place anyway, heaven.
