“When Life and Death Meet” by Nitin Das 

When Life and Death meet,
they seldom greet

Life is surprised
Death has arrived

While Death complains, Life is late
and made him wait

Time stands still, to watch the show
He reminds them, what they already know

The illusion my friends, is in my flow
For some I move fast, for some I go slow

Like the river runs to meet the sea,
You two are meant to be, since eternity

In that moment, they see the light
A gentle embrace, ends their fight

Life and Death like lovers become one
and Time proceeds to turn.
