Kim Morrison Poet Ode

Ode To Maya Angelou

Ode To Maya Angelou

Great Poet!
We shall forever yearn for one last verse,
one last soulful offering of truth,
one last rendering of the heart,  
one last line from a hand so divine.

Great Poet!
We will forever feel the loss of your pen,
the loss of your own unique voice,
the loss  of your talent on our stage,
the loss of a point of view scribed by you.

Great Poet!
Your written words so profound
etched in our hearts and minds
will live on "in and out
  in and out
  in and out
  of time."
