Sculpted sounds surround
the spirit of he who now dances
beyond the drifting cloudscapes
that encircle the globe
serendipitously gathering heart sighs
into a love chain
for he who now inhabits
Neverland in Foreverland,
a magical realm of artists and dreamers
who spent their lives
blending fantasy with reality
for all the world to hear and see
we are all one.

Scale the universal heart beat,
set free the timeless melody
of love's pure harmony
to ride the four winds
that carry the spirit
into eternity.


~RIP, Michael~
I loved you, and will miss you
as an artist, and as a loving giving human
who sang and danced with every heartbeat,
the essence of the wonders and magic of love.

I too will miss that man and all his facets.  He gave more to the world more than it deserved.

Nice tribute Kacy.

Thanks Sharon.
It is still so surreal.
He was bigger than life.

Heaven


Some of the angels
Are singing

Michael is coming
To town

Ready to give him
A grand old time

Though the cherubs
Are nowhere to be seen

John,
If there were really a Heaven, supposedly a glorious final 'home' for good souls? then I'd expect cherubs would be surrounding him, dancing, and singing, and maybe squirting water pistols or tossing water balloons.
Michael was unique, not a freak, loved the children but was not a pedophile...if that is what your reply implied, John.

Thanks Diana, for reading and replying to this.
I hear people groaning already about 'too much air time' spent on him. Those same people also were telling 'off color' jokes about him. I listened for a while then told one of them my thoughts about him.
When I lived in California, I had a circle of musicians and TV stars I knew. One knew Michael well, and all I ever heard was how much fun the kids had, how child-like and innocent Michael was, just like Peter Pan.
As an adult, in some ways, he was living the childhood he was denied by such early fame that required constant studio work and having to deal with financial decisions and contracts at an early age.

Michael, you were one-of-a-kind. You will be forever missed by millions.
