A Song For Maya Poem by Cris Ben
A Song For Maya
Maya I hear the caged birds sing
Now, one on my window sill
And one in me, composing, singing,
pouring his tears on this song.
Poetry has lost another of its author!
And its whole world shall pause
to say sweet prayers and our
bland good-byes, bitter sorrows.
Farewell Maya!
I see you spread your wings
Of radiance, of light, of hope
Gently floating up the ceiling
I’ve never seen before
Your verses, your thoughts,
Your dreams for the world
Are like these holy feathers
Pulled by gravity towards the earth
Resting in every heart
Every soul you have touched
I, may not be as close to you as any kin,
Not your lover nor your friend,
But to me you are!
Let me look up one last time
and may this song reach you there
In a world stretching far beyond here
Maya, farewell!
A touching song for Maya. Believe, Maya's spirit is always alive in the hearts of many.
A lovely farewell song and befitting tribute to THE PHENOMENAL WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE. Well articulated and beautifully penned to warm the hearts of her admirers. Thanks for sharing this wonderful poem. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
