"Dancing in all its forms cannot be excluded from the curriculum of all noble education; dancing with the feet, with ideas, with words, and, need I add that one must also be able to dance with the pen?" ~Friedrich Nietzsche

~ Saturday Centus ~ week 28
Graveside~
The early November sunshine cast golden rays.. the sweet scents of roses and carnations filling the afternoon air.. the crowd smiled and posed for the camera.. silently I looked on in awe.. had we not suffered .. where were the tears.. I wanted to scream "pull up your pants" and "put away that camera".. but I could not.. my grief kept me mute.. a glint of light caught in his rich dark hair as he stumbled away.. a young man's hand his tender guide.. Our lives changed forever.. a circus for some.. "Did you hear" I heard.. as I turned away.. willing for now to be deaf...

Visiting from Saturday Centus. Your piece was beautifully written. I'm sorry for your loss, hopefully writing this was cathartic for you. Kat

beautiful Haiku.
I like your Microfiction story...now I want to know the rest of the story! It's unique and creative!
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Quite the eclectic post. Your Saturday Centus is certainly one of raw emotion.
Very haunting Saturday Centus. A lot of questions, unanswered for me. Good job though.
Powerful writing. Your angst is palpable and I send you all my sympathy and good energy.
Thanks............cj
Nothing like that ol "how in the heck is the world still revolving when I'm suffering such horrible grief?" feeling...? Sucks, but I loved your writing.
Wow, you captured the essence of grief and loss so beautifully. Great job with such a difficult subject.
Well-described grief. It is unclear to me what is fact and what is fiction here. If it is fact, I am sorry for your loss.
Best wishes,

I can feel your pain in the words, even without reading the content here.
This was beautifully written. I hope some of the healing begins with the telling.
Thank you for linking.
Hugs and hope from Arizona.
