Walking With The Moon

A Fateful Journey into the Night

24
Walking With The Moon

Surrounded by darkness, there stood a man; Owen

Face to the sky, wondering why, oh yet again

For as he gazed toward heaven

There manifested, by his side, a brightness

Formed in beauty, she was ageless

Bosom length; the jet black hair of a princess;

And a tight white dress

Clings to her curves, clearly of noblesse

Enveloped in a vibrant aura, a light in the night

The perfect embodiment of a confident woman; she was the moonlight

Often when lost, Owen looked to her for guidance

Comforted by her simple presence

Worries and confusions, good riddance

When walking along the paths at night, he often would need her

To light the way after a blunder

For even the darkest path, she made infinitely brighter

Full of terrors and horrors is the eventide

But to the moon, Owen could tell his fears, and protection she'd provide

By the moon's glow, around him forms the armor of a knight,

Full plates and mail, will protect him from any fright

With a sword in hand, he fights back his anxieties

And as they fall before him, he lightens the weight he carries

Hunched, overwhelmed by life's burdens

She takes his hand in hers, and his legs and back she straightens

He pushes on, one step at a time, over and over like the times before

Monotony; an unwelcomed companion on their way to explore

The means to an end, of the never ending war

And as the night progresses, and by the moon's light, Owen seeks the path

To escape monotony and his wrath

Upon finding the path, Owen continues on,

Into the night, monotony be gone

And quickly entering into predawn

The darkness, waxing, waning, much like the moon herself will

Sun soon rising, like a bright daffodil

And Owen's journey; changes from uphill to downhill

And there burns a fire, in the distant gaze

A woman, of love and desire, ablaze

The moon, she says go, it is time to leave the darkness of the night

Smile now dear Owen, for it is time to enter into day's light

Thus the darkness' terrors and monotony have been vanquished

And a new journey shall begin; as the nightly walk with the moon has finished.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
