Maya Angelou's masterpiece and then some..


The sun has come
the mists have gone
we see in the distance
your long way home

I was never yours to have
you were never mine
i have loved you
in and out of time

When the first stone looked up at the blazing sun
and the first tree struggled up from the forest floor
I have always loved you more

You freed your braids
gave your hair to the breeze
it hung like a hive of honey bees

I reached in the mass
for the sweet honeycomb there
Hah
God how I loved your hair

Did you see me be bludgeoned by circumstance
lost, injured, hurt by chance??

I screamed to the Heavens
loudly screamed
trying to change my nightmares
into dreams

The sun has come
the mists have gone
we see in the distance
your long way home

I was never yours to have
and you were never mine
i loved you
in and out, in and out, in and out of time
