Maya, The Singing Caged Bird Left Quietly Poem by Hebert Logerie

The singing caged bird left quietly this morning.
Everyone is searching for her, everyone is crying.
It is always a shock when a special person is gone,
Death always comes like a loose bullet from a gun.
Death has an eerie way of shocking and torturing us.
The only person left who knew the beautiful song
Of the bird has departed. She is now in the arms of Jesus.
She is now part of the chorus. She is using her tongue
To recite some unforgettable verses to other great poets,
Who have welcomed her to a joyful oasis of wonders.
Let’s celebrate the life of this phenomenal woman,
Let’s sing and pray for our beloved Maya. Amen.
