such a voice....
quieted, but never stilled
the world has.... one less
phenom.....
one less laureate....

we as poet's .....have lost a mother
a keen eyed woman....that could speak to souls...
....make the caged... fly
her voice soft, or strident
knew my heart....led me forth...
gave me countless fresh starts....

is now at rest... but echoing
still... and forever.....
and the bird still sings.....
a beautiful song..

god bless ...maya....god bless
