    An absolutely beautiful poem. Exquisite and perfect in every way.
    Please change line 2 to 'on the back of the wind'

    I love this poem. It is so simple but so perfect. Maya Angelou is a superwoman-serene, beautiful and strong. She is a role model for me.

    Maya Angelou is my idol. there is no one who inspires me more than she does, besides god, if there was anyway i could meet her just to look into her eyes and see the genuiness of her smile.My life would be complete. She is the person who unwittingly started me on my path to poetry. I never learned so much from one person than I did from Maya Angelou. I want to be just like her.

    I am moved by your poems.It gives me hope and courage.No matter what happens to me, I will rise just like you.I think this is really the inner weath that we must have, because only this we can live a wonderful life.

    Maya Angelou is the epitome of African-American poetry. People who never heard her name, they don't know real poetry at all.

Touched by an Angel

We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.

Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
