Common Ground

Stranded

In the middle of a blizzard

Temperatures less than 30 below

My fingers get numb

I don’t know how much longer

I can survive in the cold

We both struggle

Trying to carry on

Determined to keep moving

Desperate not to freeze

Looking for something

To start a fire

That’s when it comes into view

An igloo called friendship

With a warm fire inside

We walk toward it

Our lives depending on it

And we meet

Somewhere in the middle
