A Poem
and a tribute to Prof. Keorapetse Kgositsile
By Lennox Raphael
Before days of after & laughter hereafter,
&after knowing you since that afternoon with Maya Angelou,
I knew, I knew, I would be missing you,
blue diamond magic cow smiling right now, blessed, at rest,
stars pitch as soul ripening beyond memory,
here now, before & after, O, noon child of Love opening our hearts,
Faith restored, time outlawed, no goodbye rose, O Willie, WELCOME
