Silience

Arctic waters are always

the deepest blue.

Cold; deadly.

 

If you aren't mindful

in the icy seas, you will meet

cold; deadly.

 

Sandy beaches are a limbo

professing life and joy.

Cold; deadly.

 

Families frolic in sunshine

among sand and sea.

Cold; deadly.

 

Yet some parents become distracted

or worse, unconcerned.

Cold; deadly.

 

Their children play in foam

and tide.

Cold; deadly.

 

The parents never know;

 

Cold; deadly.
