slave to the power of death

We have very little control over the events that unfold in this vast universe.
Our lifes are just a series of coincidences.
And we have so little contrl over our lives
I will never know at what instant of time I choose to tread this path
or consequences of what actions have lead to this moment.

This moment where time has stopped still.
I hang in the balence between life and death.
A voice screams from deep inside me
I dont to die ...
not from fear of death or fear of pain.
But from the uncompromising "desire to live".

I survived.I am still alive.

But I have realized i am a slave to the power of death.
My ego,my desires,my dreams all were powerless .I was powerless
Just like that everything could have ended.
