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…

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…
