Artemis Drowned, by Ashley H.

Rising, rising, in the lighted world
Darkness covering as the night unfurled
Tremble, tremble, we are breathless here
Covered in fluid in this aqua sphere.

Shudder, shudder, it is cold and dark
I’d give eternity for the smallest spark
Learning, learning, to give up the air
My lungs are burning, they have none to spare.

Gasping, gasping, water closing in
Can’t find my balance; beginning to spin
Thirsty, thirsty, I am compelled to sink
Water all around but nothing to drink.

Hover, hover, there was no escape
Learned to give in so I could learn to take
Quiver, quiver, my loneliest friend
Shoot your arrows and escape to the wind.
