"In our joy, we think we hear a whisper.
At first it is too soft. Then only half heard.
We listen carefully as it gathers strength.
We hear a sweetness.
The word is PEACE.
It is loud now.
Louder than the explosion of bombs".
-Maya Angelou

Isn't this an excerpt from a longer poem that Maya Angelou wrote? If you have the entire poem/book, could you tell me the name of it? I heard the entire thing read on Oprah and kill myself every time I think about it for not writing down the name... It's just a beautiful piece of poetry... as is your artpiece to highlight it.
Hugs, Shari
