I wondered if i could catch the moon one night. When I saw his face shining on me, wistfully, that look of sadness fleeting away with the clouds. I heard my mother whisper, "it's not really the man in the man, do you see her? Do you see the lady?" I couldn't see a lady in the moon, as hard as I tried. I would tilt my head sideways, and stand on my head, sometimes squint my eyes just hoping for a glimpse of her face. Then one night as we were driving, with my hand reaching out for the elusive moon, i saw the lady. As your voice whispered in my ear "do you see her? do you see the lady?" I looked over and saw you looking at me, and not at the moon. With the golden glow of light in your eyes. I was no longer reaching into the sky for the moon, but rather for the moon in your eyes. I had captured the moon. |
