Maya Angelou- In & Out of Time Poem

The sun has come, the mists have 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 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 honey comb there
God how I loved your hair

You saw me bludgeoned by circumstance,
Lost, injured, hurt by chance
I screamed to the heavens; loudly scream
Trying to change our nightmares into dreams

The sun has come, the mists have 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
