In and out of time by Maya Angelou


During this transition period, I will be posting poems from various poets who have inspired me growing up. As soon as this block is gone, I will return with a response to this poem. I'm finally pouring into myself and no longer will give myself the bare minimum. So even though words hurt and cut deep, it's there to expose something that I have lacked๐ŸŒน

In and out of time


The sun has come.

The mist has gone.

We see in the distance...

our long way home.

I was always yours to have.

You were always mine.

We have loved each other 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 had always loved you more.

You freed your braids...

gave your hair to the breeze.

It hummed like a hive of honey bees.

I reached in the mass for the sweet honey comb there...

Mmmm... God how I love your hair.

You saw me bludgeoned by circumstance.

Lost, injured, hurt by chance.

I screamed to the heavens... loudly screamed...

Trying to change our nightmares into dreams...

The sun has come.

The mist has gone.

We see in the distance our long way home.

I was always yours to have.

You were always mine.

We have loved each other in and out

in and out

in and out

of time ๐ŸŒน
