Fool Moon Rising

I was born under a fool moon

Late in the month of June

I make mistakes like any fool would

Lessons learned as best I could.

Applying all the knowledge to my life

Makes lessons learned less filled with strife.

Be thankful of the moon of the fool

As ignorance served as your tool.

In the end in all amounts

It’s your peace and happiness that counts…

Past Peace And Grace

Looking in the past for the answer 

Will consume your life like cancer.

Some rocks are better left in place

Acceptance gifts the reward of grace.

All in your life has happened for reasons

Go with the flow, evolve like the seasons.

Past tragedies do not define

Lessons learned are sublime.

Look backwards with perspective not rage

Past events in life’s book are just a page.

Know what you want and proceed 

It’s not selfishness or even greed

It’s knowing what you will need 

So that your happiness can feed…

Lessons In Heartbreak 

Does it hurt? 

Good then it was a lesson.

Did you think? 

Good, you’re using your brain.

Did you cry? 

Good, then you felt something.

Did you die? 

No, good, whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

Did you grow? 

Good, each heartbreak makes you more aware what you want in your life.

Did you care? 

Yes, good, being the bigger person isn’t easy, but it is everything.

Do you reflect?

Good, reflection gains perspective.

Do you know yourself? 

Good, consider the journey and hardships.

Did you read this? 

Great, thank you for doing so, have a great day…

Ethos Pathos and Logos 

I am good 

My words will prove it

Just read them.

Life is hard 

We’ve all been through much

Making us stronger.

With each lesson 

Bettering our lives and ourselves

Means living happy.

A rhetorical triangle

Really drives my point home

Love, learn, live…

Mastering Life

When will it be enough

Why must we be so tough.

Life can be cruel and so unfair 

But it’s worth, beyond compare.

When we reach, “enough”, we know life’s worth

That’s a big part of our time here on earth.

The setbacks are the worst 

Likened to unsatisfied thirst.

Lessons must be learned

Yet the earth must turn.

Life without strife 

Just wouldn’t be life.

So when things don’t go your way 

Take pause, meditate, and pray.

Things can be so much worse

Life’s hardships are not a curse.

Teaching us what we need to know 

In order to become better and grow.

Master the lessons and pass the test

And make this lifetime your very best…
