Poet of the week

Poet of the week 82 goes to the brilliantly talented +amita sharma Her poetry is both reflective and insightful with a beautiful poetic depth that stirs the mind. Well done Amita.

When it hurts, it instructs.
Every doubts propels outside .
Whose roots digs inside .
Question grows out
Answer stems in.
Hurdles ploughs the opportunity .
Struggle paves the wisdom .
Time heals the hurts .
A hope lights the spark.
