Iced Danger
Frozen fingers and toes
Yet I pull the sled
The rope also frozen, but I lost my way
I know this road
Follow it and get myself home.
That’s what my mind tells me
It’s hard to concentrate
Perhaps my brain is frozen too
Clap my hands together
Stomp my feet
Too far ahead I see my two friends
I just need to keep moving.
Never again will I venture down an unknown hillside
It was so fast, I had so much fun, but now
I fear if I lose sight of my friends I won’t make it
I want my warm bed, my warm blankets
I will just sit here a while
It seems warmer than walking
I’ll wait for them to find me
Joey? Mikey?….
