Cold

by Gwen Lynch - Sagittarius

Walking across the
Cold ice field
Lost
Every step I take
My feet weight heavy
On my limp legs
My mind
Slowly fading
Giving into the cold
No longer able to rationalize
Or keep my mind
Focused on the task at hand
I make a wrong
Move
I fall down a crack
Endless darkness
I finally hit a ledge
With a loud earsplitting
Sound of shattering bones
Alone
Cold
Bruised
And broken
I lie on that ledge
Alive
As if that really mattered now
I would have welcomed
My old friend death
On this day
But I couldn't
Something told me I had to hold on
Then I heard it
Men
My savors
I hope!
