Cold, bone chilling cold 

Seeps into me, contrasting the heat from the day.

Through the clear waters I see the golden orb blazing above the clarity

Here among the weeds that entangle me snugly,

I glare back-

Sight eclipsed

By the bubbles of air escaping my lips.

A final desperate gasp,

Marks my welcome  to the warm world of inky dark.
