And Her Words Are For Whispers To GOD's Winds and Blue Skies Who Desires To Hear Her Say "and Still ... I Rise ..." ** She Was A Poet of Great Passion Shown In Her Poems and Prose Powerful In Her Visions Yet Gentle Eye-Views Like A Doe's O' GOD Bless That Poet Whose Voice Refreshed Us Like Dew And May We Write Poems Together In Paradise ... me & Maya Angelou ... * * * * In Memoriam & Honor To: Maya Angelou 4/ 4/ 1928 - 5/ 28/ 2014 Written & Copyrighted ©: 5/29/2014 by: MoonBee Canady Maya Angelou was one of four poets that gave me the writing itch for poetry ...
