The Plunge

This eerie calm

Before the storm, nerve wracking

Like a slow burning fuse of a ticking time bomb

All I can do is stand here, the thin ice slowly cracking

Chilly fingers twist around me

Wisps of my thoughts, strangling

If only I had the key

To unlock those secrets, hiding

The deep breath

Before the plunge

The stench of death

An omen I must expunge

The ice cold water reaches my soul

Slowly rising above my head

I am being sucked into this black hole

My body, filling with dread

Before I am frozen I must swim

Fear takes its grip, my eyesight clouding

This is looking grim

Will I survive or am I drowning
