I WENT OUT AT TWO

I went out at two
Woke up and looked out the window
It seemed cloudy, but it was full moon night
I dressed for the weather and left the house
 
The night was gray dark
Window whistled through the trees
Snow crunched beneath the feet
Disappointment was around the corner
 
On the lake side of the house
I heard the waves smooch the shore
There was no hint of violence
No evidence of stars
 
The moon was there I could see
Lighter clouds melding into darker gray
The light did not break through
Did not cast shadows on the ground
 
Beyond my sight were thousands of stars
Snow angels were about me
They were silent, but not in disappointment
The equinox would soon be here
