What a screaming silence, <br />And the echoes of its ambience, <br />Claiming this space with cold air, <br />Oh, I see, a virtue has gone out here, <br />No more we hear, no more we hear, <br />The unchanged rhythm of your drum, <br />Which wailed out for freedom, <br />By the hit of your poetic ruthe, <br />For the caged passenger pigeon has flown, <br />And a roaring silence sweeps my heart's lawn. <br /> <br />The free bird aloof invincible space, <br />Is now hosted by long gone face, <br />Of the solitaire, the great auk, <br />The garefowl, the labrator duck, <br />The kona grosbeak, The carolina parakeets, <br />And your name maya the warblers sing, <br />But here we are a vacuum, <br />Crowded with the absence of Maya Angelou. <br />Though the blood of your pen, <br />Had been sucked by the reaper of men, <br />But our heart is consoled by your age and prints, <br />O' mighty Maya may you rest in peace, <br />Because the cage bird alas is free!<br /><br />Rex mayor Ubini<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/adieu-maya-angelou/
