Getting news from one mentor about another mentor,

that he died unexpectedly, unexplainably, tears can.

not yet be found, it hasn't sunk in yet.

Thinking we had just been at a meeting a few weeks

ago only and now he's gone from our lives, no inkling

of him being sick at all.

So tired, wondering what happened to cause his death

no inswers coming to mind, his wife having died not

to long ago in her sleep.

Now my mentor/friend has died and gone to heaven to be

by her side, tears will eventually flow as memories

come crowding in

Wanting to be recognized and expressed, life is so very

temporary, it will never be gotten used to when death

comes to each of us, ready or not to depart this earth
