He falls
Into the icy water
As it moves
So rapidly
Impossible for him to survive.

Time seemed to move,
At a much slower pace,
As he fell from the edge,
So far down,
To the water.

Like a video,
Stopping for a long moment,
As each frame passed.

And then,
Like a reaction of a chain,
Being whipped about,
I followed.

Falling,
Far and fast,
Yet slow and peacefully.

So terrified,
Waiting for the icy chill,
Of the water's rapid movement,
To tear me away,
From the life I knew.

As he and I hit the water,
We seem to be absorbed into it,
Become one with it,
And its icy chill becomes part of us.

Impossible to survive.

Author's note: This post was not meant to frighten you. It is not symbolic to my current emotional state. It is a metaphor. Of life, and of death. Life is the time between the fall, and the water. Death, is the absorption into the water.
Why did I write in the first person narrative? I don't know.
Why did I include another subject in the poem? I don't know that either.
I am simply writing, a metaphor, for life, and death, and the randomnity of it.
Is randomnity a word? No. But I made it one anyway.

Thank you and goodnight.

What's on your holiday wishlist?

My holiday wish list? Not that vast.
Though I've spotted something new that I want.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on DVD!
I also want a new MP3 player. Something that can hold more than 80-100 of my 3-20 minute long songs.
Other than that? This shirt, this shirt, this shirt, and this shirt from the xkcd webcomic store.
And, this shirt, this shirt, this shirt, and this shirt from the The Best Page In The Universe Store (Best store in the universe[Maddox])

Honestly, I'd be happy with pretty much any of 'em from the xkcd ones, but those are the funniest ones - to me - and the ones from maddox, are specific to my sense of humor, the ones that aren't linked, I wouldn't wear.
