In the night

There's this beauty in the unknown outside my window
Dark and heavy
As though miles beneath the water
Where everything is quieter, slower
Except for a few stars
There is nothing
I wonder 
If I were to climb down from my room
And walk along the frozen stream
What I would find
Is there some secret she hides from us in the night
Some unknown breath
Causing mountains to silently shift
And trees to shake free of their snow
If maybe I would sink down down down
Into snow that would cover me like a quilt
And I could finally hear her whispers
Of the geese soon to fly home
And the sun over silver lake
She would wear the moon draped over her shoulders
And walk among stars
Pondering
Where it would rain the next day
And if she would send the winds out to play
As the world spun
And we slept in our beds
She would drift
Here and there
Carrying the sun in her hands
Thinking of tomorrow
