Iceburg

In the North Atlantic, 
an iceberg leaned 
toward the Titanic, 
popping pins and crunching steel, 
sinking the unsinkable. 

A cold hush followed 
the ship's first shudder, 
as life's moments shifted 
to death's minutes, 
touching the untouchable. 

Sometimes danger lurks 
just below the surface. 
Best to slow down, 
and keep your eyes open before 
fathoms become unfathomable.
