Hidden Treasure

Posted on April 24, 2018 by Mary (tqhousecat)

We gather at the table
We pray
We eat
We talk
We laugh
Careful not to get caught
In the unconscious undertow
Funny thing
Tragedy can bring you closer than a celebration
A drawstring pulling hearts
In one continuous strand
Sealing what really matters

dVerse prompt for Monday. I am a little late. Write a quadrille (44 words) using the word gather

    a drawstring pulling you in one continuous strand……what a wonderful way to describe the pulling together that a family crisis / tragedy causes. Well done! So glad you posted to the prompt.

    I have always found funerals to be strangely comforting… sometimes almost joyous

    The unconscious undertow… yes, avoid that… but pull that draw string and seal this scene and what matters. Cool.

    I like the idea of a single stand uniting all hearts in sad times as well as happy ones.
