100 Word Challenge: Two Years Past A Quarter Century

Halfway back I answered, “Pick the best one, choose for love, then cross your fingers.” I meant it.

No one has a pellucid view at the altar all stargazed eyes, flushed cheeks, and Ode to Joy belting from organ pipes. You are, in many ways, the purest version of yourself. And them to you.

Not until you’ve watered the lawn and tended the weeds. Grown beautiful things. Glimpsed the amplified worst and best possible versions is the true veil lifted. (Because we all change, don’t we?) 

At some point if you’re lucky, your breathing relaxes, and you uncross them.

[Sigh]

This week, Tara at Thin Spiral Notebook gave us the word "change" as our writing prompt. I wrote about an anniversary one other time HERE.

100 Word Challenge: Long Married Couple

rooted in the blessedness of routine

there’re seldom mysteries anymore 

like a child’s gender until her first breath

days, months, years soldier march

waffles, grilled cheese, spaghetti 

broken records of the same thousands 

of moments life slides by on its way 

somewhere kids outgrow things

while you misplace you believing

the contentment of life in the ordinary

when one day

Hints are Purposely Left 

To a Secret but Disbelieving 

His stealth That’s not Him and 

You’re Insane because You 

Thought you Knew 

Everything But you have no Idea 

Where he’s Taking you

Though you're Certain
It's two Tickets to Paradise 

Hey! Click on the 100 Word Challenge badge right there and join in the party! Thanks, Tara, for being our new spot to play. I really have no idea where I am going, or packing instructions, and I am going crazy not knowing. He pulled one over on me!
