I Wore The New Moon...

I wore the new moon on my heart
as you wear a jewel
I shone it with my tears
as you shine gold
I showed it to the world
as you show your beloved
I brought it over the water
as you see your image
I saw the wonder of colors
as you watch the rainbow

Hello Anita

This is an interesting one. I think you have to say 'shined' in line 3: for some reason, when 'to shine' means 'to make bright', or 'to polish', the past tense is 'shined' ('he shined his shoes', etc).

I like 'I brought it over the water'; but I'm not sure how 'as you see' fits in. Does the rainbow at the end take us away from the moon, I wonder?
