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.
Really beautiful, Jennifer. I am always inspired by your poetry.
