Gather Yourself My Love Poem by Eila Mahima Jaipaul

gather yourself my love
glistening eyes raise to the heavens as you watch the pieces fall
I have lost my hope
I have lost my faith

gather yourself my love
the storm is coming
dark clouds with silver linings fill the sky above
hold tight to your belief

gather yourself my love
I am afraid of this woman’s work
the mundane crashes waves against the supernatural
as both worlds collide

gather yourself my love
learn to live outside your sins
learn to follow your heart
learn to move on
