She stood straight up
With the world at “her feet”
A smile so big
To knock a cloud out of place
Her teeth so white
Like winter had come.
Mystery woman;
I saw from a distance
In my poetry book
Her zeal and passion
I wanted
Her command
And humility
I mimicked
Once or twice
My, my, my
Miss Maya
Miss Maya Angelou
Beautiful
Brave
Courageous
Wise, giving and forgiving
In my mind
I walk beside you
Only to feel the mystery
Of who you were.

For Miss Maya Angelou; a woman whose words always echo in my heart like the sound of an African drum.
