Published in 2024, this is the author’s sixth collection of lyric poetry, born of a deep Christian faith and inspired by the belief that poetry is a gift from God. At its heart is the conviction that the Lord Jesus Christ is the supreme Poet of both heaven and earth, the source of all true beauty and inspiration.

Drawing on Serbia’s rich cultural heritage and the traditions of the Orthodox Christian faith, the collection reflects the enduring legacy of Saint Sava – the nation’s first archbishop and spiritual guide – and the medieval Nemanjić dynasty, whose contributions helped shape Serbian identity. It is a tribute to the importance of preserving one’s language, culture, and faith, and of sharing these treasures with future generations and the wider world.

One hundred poems unfold like the petals of a flower, gently leading readers on a spiritual journey through prayer, temptation, repentance, sorrow, forgiveness, and ultimately to an encounter with God’s presence in a heart filled with love, faith, and hope.

The poet offers heartfelt gratitude to the Lord, the Most Holy Mother of God, and the saints for their inspiration, protection, and guidance, as well as for the faithful and honorable people who have accompanied her path. Her hope is that this book will awaken hearts, reminding readers that even a single verse, a compassionate glance, or a simple smile can help reveal God’s love already dwelling within them.

This collection is an invitation to reflect, to pray, and to rediscover the enduring power of faith, hope, and love.
