Close to Death.

(WRITTEN AFTER I MISSED BEING HIT BY A TRAIN BY MERE 2 SEC....)

Saw the face of death today

Smiling at me from a distance

The distance of time......

Two seconds to say

Sounds so less, right?

That made the difference of a lifetime

My life was running slower than me

My shadow was lagging behind…

I leaped to cross the tracks -

The tracks of my life

Saw death riding on a train shouting aloud

Coming close to end the journey of my life …

Saved by the hands of god,

I saw death evade me again

Time and again death come hunting for me,

To make me its next victim…

But till god is smiling watching me,

Death cannot touch me anytime soon,

But i know nothing- I am not god

Death is not the friend of god also
