Trapped Under Ice

Freezing water, deathly chill
My frantic mind begins to still
My leaden limbs no longer fight
As rainbow colors fill my sight.
The prism's children dance and sway
As night devours light of day
Eyes protruding, mouth gapes wide
Succumb to river's lethal tide
Open lungs, let water seep
Allow caress of deathly sleep
But if to sleep, perchance to dream?
No sound borne of watery scream.
Liquid breath cannot suffice,
Freezing death....trapped under ice.
