A chapter in the book One Thousand Cranes

Mourning Hazy Sky

by Gypsy Blue Rose


Praying for Peace
 
 

mourning hazy sky,

amidst ruins and broken dreams   —

a peace lily sprouts

"Putin, Read my lips: Without gas or without you? Without you. Without light or without you? Without you. Without water or without you? Without you. Without food or without you? Without you" - Zelensky, Ukraine President

-Following this month's counteroffensive, in which Ukraine has regained control of much of the Kharkiv region, a Russian missile strike damaged critical civilian infrastructure in Ukraine, leaving five regions without power and threatening outages for the entire country. Responding to the strike and to Russia's common assertion that Ukrainians and Russians are one people, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that darkness and cold were less frightening than Russian "friendship and brotherhood."

- Peace Lilies: is a flower plant, a symbol of peace.

Thank you for reading my poem,
