in memorium, maya angelou

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” -Maya Angelou

To paraphrase Oprah, Maya Angelou will be remembered not just for the things she has done or written or spoken, but how she moved through the world with unshakeable calm, confidence and a fierce grace. The world will profoundly miss her, but she will always be a rainbow in the clouds.

Give me your hand

Make room for me
to lead and follow
you
beyond this rage of poetry.

Let others have
the privacy of
touching words
and love of loss
of love.

For me
Give me your hand.

-A Conceit, Maya Angelou

Today, let us live and love unabashedly-—be a rainbow in somebody's cloud.
