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.
