capture the moon

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.
