Holiday Branch

A branch awaits the carolling. The choir, each limb afire with song. The cold and bare kindled with snow. A branch awaits. A branch awaits the spring of feet - the twang of movement, soft or strong. The strum of warmth, the beat of chirps - a branch awaits. A branch awaits the tango’s churl - the gathering of more than one. Will there be tolerance or not? A branch awaits the carolling, the spring of feet, the gathering of more than one. Narrow or wide, a branch awaits. 12/11/2022

I was writing about carolers last week. We used to go door-to-door caroling but that tradition has sadly been lost in my part of the world. Lovely write Kim! :)

When I was young we used to have a gang of choirs and we would really enjoy it.
