haiku my heart

Every day she wrote
even on days she could not
Maya Angelou

Just one of the many lessons learned
from her wise words
and poetic cadence.

  6. I love this tree. I want to wrap my arms around her, the tree and Maya and thank them both for breathing life into us... Thank you Gemma for reminding us to keep writing and speaking, even when we don't think we can..

  9. i love her voice.
    it is the raven, and the thick flood of honey
    from a heart that has known the core of bittersweet
    and chooses to live beyond that darkest shadow and transmit light.
