Suffocating from oxygen deprived
lungs.

Blackness penetrating, pulling the
ankles.

Wrapping around, obscuring the
unconscious body.

The image of a clock slowly winding
down to the last moment.

An evil voice demanding death.

Brought to the last sliver of life.

Struggling to pull back a will losing
hope.

Stretch out a hand.
Grasp the gift of life.

Is this a message of dying?

Is just the act of living of prime
importance?

Grasp life.
Grasping will never suffocate.

Grasp life.
Holding life gently will never
be sufficient.
