It is the last day of black history month and I won't to give honor to one of my favorite black writers.
My favorite poems by her are "Touched By An Angel", "Still I Rise" , and "Phenomenal Woman". These poems spoke volumes to me with every line. My first year at my Alma Mater she came to my school, TWU. She had overcame alot and inspired many in her life time. Dr. Maya Angelou was a courageous civil rights activist, poet, prolific scholar, educator, actress, producer, director, historian and bestselling author. She accomplished alot in her lifetime. She was truly a phenomenal woman of our time. In 2014 I wrote the poem "Tapestry of Effortless Grace" to honor the amazing woman she is. So I would like to share this poem with you today.
RIP
Beloved Dr Maya Angelou
April 4, 1928 - May 28, 2014
Roots of prosperity stained with
the rain of blood flooded in sin
Fertilized by temptation
wrapped in the cloth of deceit
of man.
The mustard seed that sows mercy and reaps
a faith clouded by darkness embodiment of rejections
leaving fear in its quake
Resulting rebirth in its make.
Mocked by the shadows of its past
Surrendering to the vast
Fooled by judgment of social class.
Almighty ignites fire of
courage that burns bright
in the faith in the mind is it wielding
the strength of the heart's wisdom.
A beauty that has no color
Forever flowing like a gentle breeze.
The pains and struggles that succumbs
to hope of a new beginning
A tapestry of everlasting grace
Brings the dawn of a timeless promise.
*excerpt from Lyrical Heart *
~ Wherever you are in heaven I hope I did you proud Dr Maya Angelou ~
P.S.: To All Writers Never Give Up Your Beautiful Dreams To Write Wonderful Stories ✍💖
"The shadow of character is defined by its maker...while a heroine is personified by its actions and relatability. So writers can create a world with a heroine that has impact and finish with everessence lights at the dims of it's shadows" ~ Raquelle Stepney
Happy Black History Month!!
