Eclipse of a Shining Star
At first, I wanted to compare Marilyn Monroe to the moon; from her perspective. As a cold rock drifting closer and closer to the sun, seeking the warmth it offered; but never enough. Blinded
always a full moon. Being lost when she came to trust only the warmth of the light as it landed on her face to guide her. Only by casting a shadow onto earth as she disappears into the warmth of the light, did we realize too late, even stars have a dark side.
But earth too is just another cold rock that depends on the sun for the light that gives us life and keeps us warm; with a dark side no different than the moon. Marilyn was more like a star with a dark side expected always to light up the lives of those who dreamed along with her as the earth turned on and off to the sun.
Like any star without a dark side, our sun too will burn out and go dark one day. And along with the light that gave the moon it's dark side, disappears on earth the pain without the light needed to live.
