To Maya... with love

She was Regal...

In her ways...
In her walk...
In her words....

Yes Maya Angelou's
words touched
places in me that
I deemed unreachable...

Her Biography's and poems
touched the darkest parts of
me...and made my soul...


Teachable
Maya said...
"If someone shows you who they are...believe them"

Those are words I've
lived by from the first moment
I heard her say them...

So poised Maya was
with every gesture
reminding me of what
it means to be a Lady
To have dignity...
and to never
apologize for discovering
exactly who I am...
Even in the most awkward
of Moments....

Maya's poetry resonates
in the very fabric of my being
As I discovered the Phenomenal Woman
inside myself.... Screaming to be heard

I have been touched deeply
by Maya's every word

Now she is with us in spirit
Forever close in our minds...

As she becomes a muse for us all
moving In & Out...
In & Out...
In & Out of time....
