A Conversation with Maya Angelou

 

Good morning, Miss Angelou

How are you today?   

I see you are looking wondrous these days…  

  

Do you remember?  

When we met  

It was decades past  

Since that day we sat  

Socializing, talking, and discussing current events…  

  

I was in awe   

Of you  

Your presence that day  

Your elegance and wisdom beyond belief  

Your knowledge of history  

Very articulate indeed—  

  

Your voice immaculate   

And  

Gifted with a poetic sound—  

  

 

I wonder if  

You were the messenger of God  

How else can I explain?   

Your harmony of sound—  

  

Well! Young man  

My harmony of sound—transcends   

Years of struggles   

And   

Evildoers abound—  

  

My words resuscitate  

The angels of the past  

So a messenger of God—hmm  

I guess, you could say that  

For I am the storyteller of second-chance lives—  

  

Well, Miss Angelou   

It is time  to say our byes  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Until, I call upon you   

Once again, for the listening                                             

Of your voice   

And   

The calmness of your spirit—
