Inspired by and written for Simply 6 Minutes – thank you, Christine

Form: French Canadian Sonnet

Anticipation shivers on the skin
Anguished thoughts colliding where the doubts surge
Still the moment approaches with the urge
To let it all go and dive right on in

Senses burning hot waiting for the chill
Like a fever that’s released out of control
Only icy waters can bring console
For this fever has no medical pill

The time has run out for thoughts to adjust
There’s no going back, the dive is a must

Let all the heat go beneath the cold ice
Freeze fevered senses into time and space
And take that dive with elegance and grace
That’s how it goes when we are out of dice

Time 7 minutes 20 seconds
