Gather Poem by Nitya Swaruba

In a gathering of many
In the din of commotion
I fail to notice
In the heap of confusion
Then comes the moment
In all the chaos
When I look into them
Those eyes trying to catch mine
When I look into them
An emotion bursts within me
That I cannot seem to gather
I lose all sense of the room
A powerful feeling then looms
A feeling that drowns out all that surrounds
It gathers me, consumes me whole
I cannot seem to resist it
I let it pierce my soul
My heart swells, puts me in awe
Realization hits me, I gather
This is what I've been waiting for
I'm filled with an impenetrable calm
When you gather me in your arms.
