R I P Phenomenal Woman

"I am a woman phenomenally.Phenomenal woman,that's me." Maya Angelou. The first time i read your poetry,back in my early teens,i knew the kind of a woman and the kind of a poet i wanted to be. The light of your life will forever shine on me,the fire of your writes will forever burn and Your name will forever be encrypted on my heart. May your legend transverse the unlimited span of time. You were my idol,and the greatest poetess on my list. I am honored to have lived in your era! May you rest in eternal peace.

Thanks Tim! It is a great loss to the poetry community.But she lived a beautiful life and left behind beautiful writes and tho' my greedy heart would like more,i think that should be enough for me.
