Immortal - a Tribute To the Life and Voice of Dr Maya Angelou - Part Ii

Part II of The Poem, Immortal, A tribute to Dr. Maya Angelou, is posted below: ... continued... And her voice passed through me, and kissed me with a trace of grace… And then… the voice of Maya echoed once more… again: “I have others to see Now… you have somewhere to be Now: An appointment with your life, so precious and rare, awaits. Make haste, my child, make haste.” And I ran after her voice, out onto my doorstep… To behold the night heavens so wide and awake… Aglow with their newest host - I stood and watched her circumnavigate, All of the spheres that the toil of her years - and her joy - had built there. And I could feel her voice in the gentle wind blowing… The voice of Maya, saying to me… saying to you… “You, child, You… oh Yes, child -Yes… Now, child - NOW”. And NOW… she is Immortal.
