Under the Ice

~~~~~~~~~~

Got bored…wrote another poem about Sheik…yup…

I own nothing…but the words in which I express my idea.

~~~~~~~~~~

Ice of an evil sort

All around

No delicate beauty

No frosted surface

Just an arctic chill

The darkness is strange

Not comforting

Not helping

Now is not a time to hide

I look for her

A princess

Trapped, cold

Half frozen in her element

A tragic way

For a Zora to die

This isn't the way

She needs to live

She needs to thrive

She needs so much

She needs me

A figure looms before me

Sinking, dying

No longer struggling for air

She should've been able to breathe

But not in these tainted waters

I have her shell

Limp in my arms

If I don't hurry

That will be me

The surface is far

So far

I must hurry

For both our sakes

A piercing enters my chest

I grit my teeth

Do I even have limbs anymore?

I must

I move

Never was the breaking of a surface

So clean

So quick

So life restoring

The princess gasps

And lives

The ice seals behind us

It will let me take no more

From their watery grave

She thanks me

I only nod

She lives

A small thing

That saves the power

Of the Zoras
