Rest In Peace Maya Angelou Poem by donald kuutsi

[BENEVOLENT MASORA]
DR Maya Angelou,
How vivid your greatness seems now as you lay,
In the slow dignity of your eternal pause,
Or is it some humble lay?
Some natural sorrow, loss or pain,
That has been and may be again,
In the history of poetry, You sang a melancholy strain,
Only if your song had no ending, as we listened motionless,
And still the music in our hearts we bore,
Long after it is heard no more,
For this, for everything we are out of tune,
For our noble titan has departed from the long journey,
Encased in talent like uniform,
But made weak by time and fate,
Though much is taken, much still abides in us,
That, which we are, One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Strong in will to strive to seek, to find,
Joys we are now inherit, seldom yet attain,
By these young knights who fight on paper,
Ink expanding their conquered territories,
Field is the moment we visibly heard you,
But arrives that moment we sulk upon your wisdom,
As you rest in eternal peace, Can we move on

[ASHLEY MAWERE]
Sometimes we take moments for granted
Some days we never really appreciate the meaning of life
Somehow we never realize what it really means to spend a day with those we care about
So somewhere beyond the clouds I hope we will meet again
so that I can make it up to you for the moments we never had.
With tears flowing to tell my sorrow,
Here I am gazing upon a star in memory of another star

[DONALD KUUTSI]
Time spirited like a charged Knight, riding a horse to the battlefield,
The realm of time has arrived,
Hour glass blown into ashes,
Final archangels trumpet being blown,
Could it be the end of time?
Day light robbery by the realm of time,
Robbing Maya Angelou from us,
Realm of time creating a boundary that separates us from Maya Angelou,
Without you Maya earth, a Prison to us,
Going through the same door, Staying in different cells,
Earth and Hades,
OH LORD! ! ! we have been robbed, A great Knight who fought with a pen,
Mind being the battlefield,
Ink and thoughts colliding on paper, exposing the hidden co-existence of truth to execute justice,
Dr. Maya Angelou, the Mirror of the world that brought reflection,
Time distorted the mirror leaving it in pieces,
Even though the mirror has been broken into pieces,
The pieces have left a piece of a reflection with a vision, The memories, ballads, Sonnets,
Will grant us a peace in our thoughts
Igniting the stolen hope to us,
Your name, Your heritage, will continue to survive
Being passed to each and every generation,
Like a hereditary monarchical crown,
REST IN PEACE Dr. MAYA ANGELOU

STEVENS CADET
Deeply devastated,
your words that kept levitated.
Dreams concerning your opinions for the day I made it.
Just for you to say... 'Your work is Greatness'.
You were among the greatest.
You shall forever be known.
Mere words made you a Goddess.
Mere words is all us Poets know.

[ALBERT SITHOLE]
its that final whistle again
From above the kingdom of creation
That dug a hole amidst us
And uproot the blossom of art
The light of the visionary poet
Into a new world of final destiny
And as we remain here, sobing
And reminiscing those fine lines of poetic justice you breathed
We are humbled by the qeer shine of your mind
And we hold dear to perfect memoirs of the legacy you leave..
And so the strength is gathered in us
To move, to continue
To shone the light of poetry
And bless the world with a word
And all thanks to you
So we hope in all eternity
You rest in peace
Maya Angelou!
REST IN PEACE Dr. MAYA ANGELOU

[BLESSING MASORA]
A duplicate of an ANGEL
Many griefs for you ANGELO
The touch of your hand was ANGELICAL
The thought of your mind was MAGICAL
Thy talent was a MARVEL
Your words were so MISTICAL
We embrace works of a heroin
We admire your heart, such a big heart
Despite the abuses you surprisingly lived to love
You believed in yourself, so that all humanity can believe in thyself
You made ink your sword and paper your shield

your breath brought life to all infinity
Your talent of expression became our identity
You raised hope for all humanity
Hope for all even under hostility
We saw your creativity
In poetry
As graffiti
Brothers sisters mothers fathers
Let us not mourn our ANGELO
INSTEAD LET US CELEBRATE THE WORK OF A LEGEND
LET US LEARN THE LOVE IT TEACHES
LET US STAND FIRM AND BOLD
AS WE WAVE GOODBYE TO OUR ANGELICAL ‘'MAYA ANGELO''

MAYA ANGELOU
A rose that blossomed signaling the birth of beauty,
To give a serene smell to the world was its destiny,
Inspired all through the work of pen as it sharpened the planet through inspiring uttarances
But the lord was shot of vocalist,
He called you to join the choir and poets,
To be poetic from higher places,
Where you would watch the sprouting new roses,
That would scent through poetry,
To our memory you shall forever dwell
In the pages of books and archives
Silenced in death,
Alive in written poetry,
Your legacy is what will keep you alive
