The words of someone wise

Roll around in my brain

Like sweet rain water

On the hottest of days

I relish

The insight

Of what can be accomplished

With words

I completely

Give

Myself over

To the quote

I hang on to

Each and every expression

As if it is the last

And I see with clarity

Why I love words

Because even though the body of life

Dies

The words

And the soul-full

Live on

Forever

Good-bye Maya Angelou. Thank you for the beautiful, wise words.
