A Blizzard Barrier

The snow it fell so

I could not see

Could not perceive

The road ahead

I had your face

In my heart

Oh, baby, I won’t be able

To make it home, it seems

My limbs are freezing solid,

Tonight, there will be no fire to warm me

I am quite afraid

You’re not near to comfort me

The snow flurries past me

The white waves become thicker and thicker

Until I cannot even see my feet

But, I just struggle onwards, still trying

.....

It’s been a few hours now

And the blizzard has calmed down

But I do not know where I am

Baby, I will never come home

Prompt: Write a poem about someone who cannot find their way home in the snow.
