Poetry That Sings

Inspiring words from Nikita Gill

Today’s glimmer comes from one of my favourite writers, Nikita Gill. She writes memorable poetry, brilliant retellings of fairytales, and her newest book, Hecate, will be released in September.

Her poetry is simple and powerful, and always makes me pause, take a deep breath and reflect.

The beautiful simplicity of this one touched my heart. I hope it will do the same for you.

I will not give up

the flowers in my heart

just because the world

is a hard place.

The world

is only a hard place

because it needs more

flower-hearted people.

~ Nikita Gill
