To Maya Angelou
Grief blankets my mind
over your sad demise
but yet I rejoice
your legacy and life
Our quest for
love and hope
end up in your
poetry and prose
Your heart bled
your soul wept
but you never lost faith
in beauty and grace
How did you bud flowers
on the soil of tears?
how did you see a rainbow
over a sky so overcast?
that amazes and bewilders
You are gone
but your dream stays on
even many years from now
people will try to find
why "the Caged Bird Sings"
in despair and anguish.
