Out at Night

                                                            "Reaching for Impossibility"

"Leading Tracks"

"Moon"

     I walked out my back door out into the deep snow. Looking up I see fingers reaching for the moon; something they will never be able to grasp. I continue to walk with the snow nipping at my ankles. Next to the small stream behind my house I see multiple sets of tracks. I see tracks, what looks like human tracks, leading into the dark woods. Not knowing what is out farther than twenty feet into the forest I had the sudden urge to follow the tracks. But a bit of fear set in, so I stay within the shelter of the light from my house.
