beneath me ice gives way-
i give up hope of day,
as i descend into the darkness
the edges start to fray
i fall, away, away;
water swirls, cold and heartless
heavy the pressure weighs
my mind in disarray
in the midst of blackness i see Death;
yet my fate is delayed,
my body not decayed,
and i will take one more breath.
technically a follow-up to my last poem.
