on the day Maya Angelou died,
a torrential downpour
parted the sky &
cleansed the ground below
with Mother Nature’s tears.
no tribute could do justice
to the phenomenal woman who faced
intolerance with understanding
& adversity with calm resolve.
sometimes, Samantha writes
true & fictitious stories, poems, photographs, and recipes
sometimes, Samantha writes 
This is such a beautiful tribute to an amazingly talented and courageous woman, Samantha.

Thanks so much, Miranda! 🙂 Maya Angelou’s work was one of my formative influences. Learning more about her life continues to prove how she was truly a phenomenal woman like her poem said.
