He was "Magic"
by Ginger Rogers
In dedication to Michael Jackon's passing
written June 25, 2010
Before the year 1958
music continuity was empty and lost
But then one day
a little boy was born to us
His name was Michael
sweet and shy
loved to play with his brothers
and gaze to the sky
But then one day
he opened his mouth
heavenly angels seemed to abound
As music would play
the little boy disappeared
became the embodiment
of the musical sphere
With just one move
and a drive to create
this little boy
became a man that day
So as the story goes
he left his brothers behind
to bring the world
his most personal shine
He seemed to levitate
at every mistep
no trace of effort
or ingenuine steps
His heart excuded
in every note
the music and dance
only a vessel for his soul
He seemed to create
a world that was long lost
yet when he performed
the magic had no cost
We were taken to a place
where dreams and passions lied
we were made to believe
no one thing could be denied
It didn't stop there
the music wasn't enough
this little boy
had longing to touch
He gathered the suffering
and pained community in his arms
gave every ounce of self
to help them touch a star
A deep love for Mother Earth
and our future shining stars
Michael, continued to give
till he wore many scars
He never gave up
despite all the jeers
he never was one
to be defeated or have many tears
His message was strong
no hint of apologies
"Fight hard. Fight long."
traveled across many seas
Soon a fated day came
that made the magic disappear
no more sparkle
and so many tears
No more "Land of Forever"
no more "Land of 'I can'"
but that's not how he'd want it
we must continue to make a stand
Known by so many names
not one was without love
"Brother. Friend."
and, of course, "The Gloved One."
One still stand true
and will stand the test of time
"King of Pop"
no other crown will have great shine
Shine on Michael,
shine on
Forever will you be king
forever we will hear your song
