A star was born <br />Hidden in the moon's shadows <br />Look deep, and you can see it shimmer <br />Look into my eyes, <br />and you can see it burning as hot as the sun <br />Even on a dense, smoggy day <br />The amber flames lay low, <br />but just as intense as ever <br /> <br />I know I should be fluent <br />in the language of the stars by now <br />But I somehow can not get the orbits down <br />Instead I find them colliding and crashing in my head <br />A sound so loud <br />It echos for years <br /> <br />Please forgive me <br />For resting calmy in your gentle arms <br />to leaping light years away <br />I am a moon with many faces <br />Even Galileo could not predict <br />the faces of a woman's heart <br /> <br />(6/29/07)<br /><br />Judy Jones<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/moon-with-many-faces/
