WELCOME TO INNER MICHAEL GUEST...

The gods of artistry have spoken. So has my Inner Michael. I loved how Michael would invite and feature artists he admired. So the gods (and Michael) whispered: "So invite them!" I have met some talented people on this journey and I have been in the arts long enough to recognize Le Artiste`. So I have invited them here... all for love. Enjoy.

Who Will Conduct Love's Symphony?


Who is Conducting Love's Symphony Now That Michael is Gone?

On June 25th 2009, the Sun went out
We loved him like Everything
father, son, lover, husband
friend, brother, mentor, inspiration

We loved the way he touched us
more than the Universe
He touched the way he Loved us
and it was too much for words
so he translated it
into song and dance

The vast emptiness
left by his absence is fire
fueled by an ache that never runs out
the only analgesic for this
is Michael's Love

His pulse, his breath
all he did and all he gave
was the Heart of the World
and now, it seems
there is no Love left,
except ours for Him
... but He's gone.

What fills this, what empties it
what takes it away
even the crickets seem to know
that something is different
that something is missing
they don't even sound the same

Who cares now about the children
in Romanian orphanages?

Who cares now about the cries
in the night that no one else
could hear - when no one else
is even listening?

Who remembers now those
the rest of the World forgot
or those the World rejected?

Who holds the World's children
so close in their hearts
and prays for them every day?

Who hears the cries of Earth
as she tries in vain to heal
the damage wrought by humanity?

Who cares more?
Who loves more?
Who loves most?
Who gives everything
the way Michael did?

Who will send us tingling
with the ecstasy of dance
the way no one else could dance?

Who will help us believe
in ourselves, that we could be
everything we dreamed
every time he sang?

He saw God in all of us
and gave pieces of our own Hearts
back to us,
wrapped up as sparkling gifts ...
pieces of ourselves
we'd lost and didn't even know it
Every moment in life with
Michael Jackson was like Christmas

There is no replacing this
I miss those big brown eyes
I miss that magnificent smile
I miss that sparkling laugh
I miss that Heart bigger than the Universe
I miss my father, son, lover, husband
friend, brother, mentor, inspiration
I miss the love notes he sent
I miss the Love he WAS more than anything

On June 25th 2009, the Sun went out
The Heart of the World went missing
and Nothing seems like enough
No one seems like enough
There will never be another One

Who is conducting Love's symphony now
that Michael is gone?

  1. I can't cry anymore
    But I don't want to stop
    I miss that love I didn't know I had
    Until....he's gone
