Maya Angelou and me

Maya came to visit me on the train this morning 
Her soul cells swirled around me like the sweet aroma of sweet potato pies baking in momma's Thanksgiving kitchen. 
I was enveloped by this warm confections aroma  
The only option was to succumb

Maya and I walked thru a vortex with no sides but just length, the darkness frightened me but as is her way she was comforting and endearing 
She gifted me with the instruction to combat fear 
"Embrace it" she said assertively Truly embrace it for it holds some of the keys we're missing to complete ourselves 
Like qualudes the magic in fear follows after the patience of embracing it
She lessoned me on the importance of understanding the movement and rhythm of life. Everything is constantly moving creating into 
That which is for us to navigate.
An under current intertwined braid like Law that can be detected thru insight and audible agreement 

She said this same intelligence was in the language, each work birthed based on this principal 
The continuity in language and the ability to identify that as one of the additional senses we all have access too
Maya loved on me yesterday as if I were here first destination 
She gifted me with a personal memory that I can for always tap into 

A new something good came my way because Maya Angelou was here
