    About this ebook

    Follow Me Home is the second literary collection of poems by Mavis J. Pearl about finding oneself out there in the world and finding one’s way back home. These poems pay tribute to some cities that form pit stops on a woman’s journey through her youth. Experiences that help show her the way to understanding who she is and who she wants to haveinspired this collection. She is accompanied by loneliness, confusion, excitement and energy in the hope to find the place where she belongs. After years of making and breaking it, she arrives in the home of her own soul.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
