Maya Angelou never gone <br />Just somewhere else <br />Deep dark tonality <br />Gritty forceful <br />Voice of superb blackness <br />her highness <br />Above us <br />in acknowledgement <br />of undefined truth <br />Life and its weighted burden <br />The foundation has fallen <br />and tears are flooding <br />Weight of the burden in her eyes <br />The future and the past collide <br />within the secret heart <br />Our ears welcome her words that <br />Wake us sweet poetess <br />Beautiful one <br />We have learned <br />So much from you <br />Maya Angelou <br />You have made us <br />See ourselves more clearly!<br /><br />Dorsey Baker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/maya-angelou-and-learning-to-live/
