(5) Varya and Anya’s Vigil
Sisters tethered by grief and promise,
one guardian of fading hope, one bright-eyed with spring.
They map futures in teacup rings,
trace horizons in drifting petals.
Together they tend debt’s brittle fire,
smiling around broken china.
In their hush resides a fragile vow:
to plant new life in barren hearts.

How fragile hope. This poem strikes me of the balance between hope and its dying and a need to keep the fire kindled. Tea cups a symbol of seeing the future as hope does. Broken symbolizes lost hope. Sisters indeed the duality of hope and its loss and how closely they are related. A most wonderful write

You're welcome
and now we're back to 1/3, seems quite reflective...
perhaps it could be perceived as a down-vote on the cherry orchard series... so's the landscape at the moment
I have no idea of the title but the write to me resemble the loss of hope, clinging on together to reignite that fire, enjoyed the read
Thank you my friend. That is comforting to hear.๐๐ป๐๏ธ
You are very welcome

Thanks Andy!
Rik, this holds such delicate strength. โSmiling around broken chinaโ...I get that, deeply. itโs a quiet kind of survival only sisters can share. Each image blooms with restraint. This whole suite has been a gift to witness...Iโm here for the home stretch, my friend. Beautifully done. ๐น๐
