Nothing outstanding! felt highly repetitive and more like I was reading some cute quotes rather than poetry, although I was able to find some hidden gems, It wasn't enough to give this book more 2/5
This collection felt extremely repetitive to me, I empathise there was a theme just they all felt likewise similar almost like the same words being recycled. I read Wild Embers: Poems of Rebellion, Burn and Beauty and seemed to remember enjoying it. However I found this collection a thwarting. Perhaps I take outgrown this kind of verse (Although I accept read other poetry authors recently which I enjoyed more).

"And first,

and before her
and before them
there was you.Never forget that."
I liked this collection of poems. Liked, simply didn't honey. Compared to other poetry books, such equally Rupi Kaur's The Sun and Her Flowers, i Your Soul is a River comprises poems nigh love, loss, grief, and heartbreak—about all the things you feel in life, in short. It is about the journey of healing from trauma and becoming whole again. But most chiefly, it is about remembering to dear yourself, above all.

I liked this collection of poems. Liked, just didn't love. Compared to other poetry books, such as Rupi Kaur's The Lord's day and Her Flowers, it feels somewhat less … remarkable?
(*)
Where some poems fabricated me pause and reverberate on them, others immediately felt repetitive, because the same metaphors had already been used repeatedly, though slightly differently.
Still, aesthetically pleasing books with lovely prose are always a welcome addition to my bookshelf.

Lessons from the Rain
The next fourth dimension y'all cry,

Acquire the way

or how loud her tears are
when they fall.

The Sound of Heartbreak
It is eerily terrifying that there is no sound when a heart breaks.
Automobile accidents end with a bang, falling ends with a thud, even writing makes the scratching sound of pencil against newspaper. But the sound of a centre breaking is completely silent. Almost as though no one, non fifty-fifty the universe itself could create a sound for such destruction. Almost as though silence is the only way the universe could pay its respect to the sound of a heart falling autonomously.

Your Dear
The way you have loved
speaks volumes almost you.
The way they leave speaks
volumes about them.
Your honey is non poison.
Their inability to capeesh is.
"The stars do non bring people back. No matter how much you miss them or need them. No one tells you that hope can sometimes be a dead thing. Just like no 1 ever tells you that you are wishing upon dead stars."
I was told that I was besides hopeful, once. That was hard for me to understand because without promise, what do you accept? What do you concord onto?
Now I know...sometimes that
"The stars do not bring people back. No thing how much you miss them or need them. No one tells you that hope tin can sometimes be a dead thing. Just like no one ever tells you that you are wishing upon expressionless stars."
I was told that I was too hopeful, one time. That was difficult for me to understand considering without hope, what do you have? What do y'all concur onto?
At present I know...sometimes that hope I've been holding onto for and so long has just been dead in my fisted palms.
"You lot have turned your heart into a museum of people you've loved to keep them alive inside you." <three
"The way you have loved speaks volumes about you. The way they leave speaks volumes about them. Your beloved is non poison. Their disability to capeesh it is."
This made me exhale a sigh of relief. Because when I choose to dear, I do it fully and intensely. And if I lose someone, my showtime reaction is to detest myself.
"The day you lot left, I realized you were a rogue planet. That you didn't orbit around anyone or anything. That yous had no solar system and you lot constitute your way into mine,into my orbit, to stay with me for just a piffling while."

Wonders of nature scattered carelessly in every poem.
Emotions seeping through the pages;

Information technology reminds us of our place in nature, amongst the stars, with the ocean roaring through u.s.a..
Though I do feel I take outgrown the heartbreak side of the poetry, this had more diverseness than other modernistic collections I've read, and I feel the strength and healing of it could be applied to diverse traumas (heartbreak, but also medical, loss, etc.). I also appreciated the ocean and moon love.
I have multiple passages highlighted for time to come rereads.
Recommended, but my favorite Nikita Gill volume is nevertheless Tearing Fairytales, so read that if you haven't!
