Deep dark icy water
Deep and blue and cold
Jagged ice
Purple and blue
Rain, hard
Sleet rain
Big drops
A curtain of icy rain
Heaving waves
Mountains of ice, Ice bergs
Deep dark cold
Death
As opposed to…
Barrenness, dry, sparse plants
Warm wind
Beating down, ceaseless blinding sun
No water, thirst.
Burning, sweating, de-hydrating, collapsing
Deep shadows, dark cave
Deep dark cold
Death
