Near Death Experience
Near death experience
Eager to meet my sweetheart,
Gave my scooter a kick start,
Railway crossing on my way,
Was setting apprehensions at bay,
Sliders were down to stop the traffic,
time for train to pass, hue from attic,
Tilted my scooter, sled under the stopper,
Train passed fast and just heard the flutter,
As I reached near the track of rails,
Another train came opposite in seconds' frail,
Stepped back reflexly and stood shocked,
One step ahead, would have been docked,
A shriek cry from behind as I heard,
Blinded to the danger as I spurred,
Wonder my stupidity, wasn't any pride,
Fraction of a second away was my suicide !
Mindless haste and precious life goes waste,
Near death experience, I have had the taste!
