Drowning

Icy darkness tightens its embrace. Flailing, thrashing, clawing, waning; implacable liquid death threatens to overwhelm. Grasped by unseen hands; propelled upwards. Surface breached! Sweet, sweet air!

Good Morning John. I turned to this entry at random. How very true. Your words are very expressive. Your Nonet is in true form. There is so much to be said for this state of mind. I like how you turned darkness to light. Well done. Enjoy the morning.
