Stranded without a line to pull me back in time Blinking through snowblind to try and see a sign As I stumble through the snow Where loose footings follow With my panic held in tow I cry out my tears of woe I survived the fall down Tumbling along the ground I don't know if I'll be found This far away from town Taking shelter in the trees Away from the piercing breeze Fashioning my broken skis To take the weight off my knees I'm scared that I'll hear a howl Of a creature most foul Hiding teeth atop its jowl As it seeks me on its prowl Or does something else await? A slow and more frozen fate Now that the day turns late The cold night does not wait I push the thoughts from existence For I must be persistent Or else be gone in an instance Oh, what is that in the distance? I was at the end of my tether As I breathed the brutal aether But I was found in the weather And now we're back together

Snow Walk
Stranded without a line to pull me back in time Blinking through snowblind to try and see a sign As I stumble through the snow Where loose footings follow With my panic held in tow I cry out my tears of woe I survived the fall down Tumbling along the ground I don't know if I'll be found This far away from town Taking shelter in the trees Away from the piercing breeze Fashioning my broken skis To take the weight off my knees I'm scared that I'll hear a howl Of a creature most foul Hiding teeth atop its jowl As it seeks me on its prowl Or does something else await? A slow and more frozen fate Now that the day turns late The cold night does not wait I push the thoughts from existence For I must be persistent Or else be gone in an instance Oh, what is that in the distance? I was at the end of my tether As I breathed the brutal aether But I was found in the weather And now we're back together
I've not tried to tell a story of this nature so thought it would be interesting to tell a story of someone trying to find their way back in a blizzard in this format
