The Dive

she holds her breath
to dive into the black water
those few moments, integral to
diminish the fear and
muster all the courage
pertained in her carbon suit.
Thoughts in images flash in sequence
to predict the seconds and minutes to come,
the dread of the cold, the tragedy, the bravery,
the uncertainty and the love for the
profanity of infinite insanity
her eyes reflect her soul
like the water,cold, black ever eager to consume
the last breath of life,
and so she dives into darkness
to search the white light.
