One Moment

One swallow does not make a summer. -Aristotle (384 BC – 322 BC)

Anger is only in the moment.

Let yourself calm down.

Don’t nourish and grow those grudges,

Because in the end they will only be a drain.

One moment does not a life-time make,

And one life-time is not only that moment.

 

One bird is not an aviary,

One bee not an apiary.

One horse is not a ranch,

One tree is more than a branch.

 

So remember this

When next you miss

That moment to calm down.

For you are more than your emotions.

You are what you allow yourself to feel.

This time, I got the word count part of the challenge.

Sometimes, you just need to leave the room and calm down because you won’t react in a way you’ll like if you’re all emotion.
