Unpredictable

There are many things in this life that are predictable. The tides will always break upon the shores. The rain will always come again. Each morning the sun will appear on the horizon, as each and every day this world turns once more. And just as these follow a course, so does the moon. And therefore, so do I. Every month it fades away to almost nothing, only to return. Full, and in control of my life.

And as every full moon approaches so do you. You bring me salvation in liquid form. Not because you wish to, but because you have to. And I accept it because I have to. Like the silver orb, you approach. Appearing before me, controlling my life with what you hold in your grasp. Then you fade away, just as quickly as you had come. But you will return. You always do. Because there are some things in this life that are predictable.

But there are times when life has ways of throwing us off course. There are roses that bloom in the winter. And there are snowstorms in the spring. Sometimes the tides turn to tidal waves and the rain pours on for days.

Yet the moon is always there. The patterns never change. So, neither shall I. And neither shall you. You are bound to the moon, as I am. Or so I thought. But there are some things in this life that are unpredictable. With this new moon there is a new messenger delivering my salvation. I never thought that you would fail to come. Just as I never expected that I would miss you, once you were gone.
