100 Words - Dark Secrets

He asked me a lot about her.
She was my friend, smart, intelligent, charming.
She asked me a lot about him.
I thought they were innocent questions.
They were studying together and had got to know each other.

I knew him through another close friend.
They were soon to marry and wedding plans were well under way.
He didn't have the courage to tell her he was seeing someone else.
Then suddenly one day he left.
Left her for the smart, intelligent, charming girl.

A dark secret revealed that completely shattered her world.
If only I had caught on sooner.

100 Words - Quiet Conversations

Each morning I waited as I stood in line.
I loved those moments when his eyes met mine.
No words needed just the beat of hearts.

His time on earth was over.
So he left for his home in the sky.
Now I lie alone in the darkness and as I listen to the sounds of silence, I close my eyes.
No words needed just connections through thin veils.

And then I pray to the Heavens with devotion and faith.
And in my dreams He comes to me to comfort and love.
No words needed just the fusion of souls.

Reflections on the A to Z Challenge

The A to Z Challenge was in a word Awesome.

Will I do it again - Absolutely Yes.

I had so much fun.

On some days the brain just froze up and it was a case of "oh Lord save me - bring forth some inspiration" and on other days the words and ideas just flooded through.

What kept me going is the awesome support I got from the AtoZers and from bloggers in the group Thursday Writers' Post. What a great bunch of bloggers they all are.

I'm going to make this post short and sweet as I am technically late for it - 3rd May deadline - but I guess it still is 3rd May somewhere in the world so not too late.

Thanks to Arlee Bird the mastermind behind the AtoZ challenge for making this happen and to all those lovely people who came, and read or dropped a comment on my blog.

If there is one regret it is that I was unable to visit every single blog that took part in this challenge.

Have the most awesome day and keep blogging everyone - I'll be visiting your blogs again for sure.

Warm Regards
