Never Unexpected

The sun sets after it's rise The seasons change from hot to frigid There is an exit where there is an entrance Did you think I would be shocked or surprised? A hello is followed with a goodbye There is an end to every beginning A period concludes a sentence Did you think I would breakdown & cry? "Always expect the unexpected." Oh ....but this ending was never unexpected Good bye

Well, in regard your write here Sis; I'm asuming with the structure of your write, as in, temperance, (not structure of your well thought out Stanzas)that you fixated, at least in my interpretation, the departing of a soul you once admired. Be it in death, or a now archived relationship with a "better half"<~~~my guess is this. You were evasive in the write, a technique I use quite often in my writes. I don't have enough characters remaining so I'll continue in .............

"spill on slip"<~~~is a coin of your's truly. spill>thoughts~~slip>paper....."Many times life"> So many things which happen in life", ie; Your,"Goodbye". Anywho sis; I do miss you as well and am always thinking about you. I pray all is well with you, and hope to see you sooner than later ! Please send my love to everyone oxoxoxox Oh, did you read the poetry I sent on Nathaniels Anniversary, on facebook ? Love ya Joan !

Hey Bro!!!! Sorry I haven't been in contact, I have been on a very very stressful journey. I will be in touch shortly, just bear with me. I hope you are doing well....Thank you for your encouraging comment, but my writes don't compare to your writes. You are a great writer in my opinion. Hey, I don't understand the part in your comment when you say "someone's got to spill on the slip the agony of many times in life. Explain please.
