In shadows deep, where dreams take flight,
A voice arose, piercing the night.
With words that danced, a soul so bright,
Maya’s spirit shone, a guiding light.

Through trials fierce and paths unknown,
Her strength was forged, her courage shown.
In every verse, her heart was sown,
A legacy, her truth alone.

She sang of hope, of love’s embrace,
Of rising strong, with steadfast grace.
A beacon in the darkest place,
Her wisdom warm, in every space.

Oh, poet wise, with gentle might,
Your words endure, a timeless rite.
In every heart, you sparked a light,
Maya Angelou, our endless night.
