Seeking Merope
Somewhere hidden in darkness
she waits for her chance to glow.
Seductive and pulsing her
shine is covered with dusty
silken robes of jealousy.
Sisters who fear her brightness
secret her away in shame.

Lovely! We both chose Merope and I like your rendition of jealous sisters – a sort of Cinderella myth
“silken robes of jealousy.
Sisters who fear her brightness”
