Please add all of your poetry, pictures, stories or artwork here. Remember we want inspirational pieces. Thank you.
 
Here is my contribution
Michael has made a wonderful difference to my life. I have a condition called Fibromyalgia, and also have learning and visual perceptual problems.
He was and will always be my ray of hope. He was a wonderful man who brought sunshine and sparkle to me when I needed it most. Without Michael I would not be the person I am today.I will never forget him, his music his poetry, his positivity his smile. I want you his family to know that I knew him from a distance but loved him so much and will uphold his legacy forever.
Here is a picture of me and my little dog Elmo- who I'm sure Prince,Paris and Blanket you would love!

Know that I am praying for you and know that your Daddy will always be with you.
Much love to all the Jackson Family.

from time to time, the topic comes up of how did you become a fan... and i have always shyed away from sharing it cause i felt i'd be dubbed a looney, but if there is anyone i would share it with, other than Michael, would be now, to his family, so you can know on how many different levels he reached us, his fans, and that sometimes...he made extraordinary efforts, not to turn us into his fans, but to help us live... to bring those who were really not someone you could call alive, and wake us up in his gentle way, and bring us back to the living...

it's not a poem, tho i've titled it. thank you so much for giving Michael to us. because of him, i've known joy and love and kindness that i never would have known had it not been for Michael Joseph Jackson.

only in my dreams...

how does one use words to describe one who was out of this world?
when i met Michael, i was in another world...i was dreaming
i grew up on his music, but was never a follower. heavy metal was more my thing.

from out of the blue... only God knows why... he appeared to me
from that moment til this...i couldn't take my eyes off him
he brought his sister Janet along too...lol...always made me laugh
i guess he needed moral support? even in the realm of dreams, he was shy.

when i awoke... i had this insatiable desire to find everything i could.
from time to time he continued to visit me in this other world
sometimes he was fierce. his shyness was no where to be found.
other times, he was there as a teacher or a helper.
once he came to ask me to help with some things, but i was
too overcome to understand what he was saying to me.

there are not too many places a misfit can fit herself in,
and Michael never made me to fit into anything... he met me where i was.
i needed a friend in the worst way, and tho i could never know him here,
in this world...he found a way to be my friend...where i felt safe.
of all his wonderful songs, and so many of them i relate to, but there
was one that i have especially claimed as my own... Ben, and is the
origins of my screen name. after finding Michael... i didn't need to
look anymore... or maybe... somehow? he found me. all i know is
i have never ever felt alone again. in a world that was swallowing
me whole and eating me from the inside out, he alone knew how to heal me.

when Michael speaks of Magic, people think of his illusions or his love
for different magical stories, such as Peter Pan, but Michael's magic
or at least the magic that he harnessed and distributed to us all
is so much deeper and so much grander and more fantastic than
what most will even dare to to let their minds travel to.

Michael's world was always in another place than my own...
and tho our two world's never touched in the physical sense that most people
consider a necessary ingredient, what i experienced through him
was so REAL...and now, our two worlds are still on different planes,
and i am more connected to him than ever... i will never let him go,
and because i know him from another time and space and always
have, i know he is indeed aware of this fan from some other
world and from some other place... and i can hear him telling me
he will never let any of us go... ever. Michael is bound to us all,
and we to him...and this love is REAL and tho i'm not family,
or a neighbor, or anyone he would have ever known... he knows me,
and i know him. Love you Always Michael ...1958 to Eternity.
 
My Dear Michael.

Lay down and sleep my dear Michael,
For you'll never wake from this peace you're destined for,
Now you can fly like you always wanted to,
Nothing can stop you anymore,
Lay down and sleep my dear Michael,
No pain, no fear's with you anymore.

Lay down and sleep my dear Michael,
In our hearts you shall sing forever more,
Nothing can get in your way now,
Continue to dance in heaven til the end of time,
In that bitter June afternoon it was time to go,
But your legacy won't be forgotten or repeated,
Like an faithful song you'll carry on,
With our love to grow on.

Lay down and sleep my dear Michael,
You'll never worry another day about tomorrow,
No anxiety in your way, no pressure, no vain to stop your soul,
Lay down and sleep my dear Michael,
Now in heaven you shall feel the love you always wrote of,
In the hands of God where you will not be misunderstood, alone or judged.

Lay down and sleep my dear Michael,
For you'll never wake from this peace you're destined for.
 
I posted this here for the fans, just to help but I'm not sure if it's appropriate for the Jackson family...

In fact, something tells me it isn't so feel free not to use it but here it is..

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Open your eyes, God had his reasons.

Everything happens for a reason. It is a tragedy that Michael left us. We will miss him and we will continue to wish he was still here. However we have to see the light, we have to look at it from another point of view. Who knows what would have happened if he actually did do the shows? Who knows how he was actually feeling? It's no question that the pressure on him was huge, the whole world was waiting for this. I'm not doubting Michael's ability but I'm saying, think about how he might have been feeling. This was not how a comeback is usually planned. Artists usually release singles, perform a few times on tv, release an album and THEN go on tour. They normally don't just throw an artist on tour, especially an artist who's been absent in so long. It's just too much hard work, nothing to do with ability. They need training, they need to get used to working hard on a stage again. I was supposed to see Michael for the first time ever on July 24th but I never got the chance. Yes I am heartbroken but Michael's feeling matter more.

Let's look at it from another point of view. Maybe he was NOT nervous or feeling under pressure. Maybe he was more than ready both physically and mentally. It could be that God felt that Michael has accomplished everything he was destined to accomplish. Maybe Michael had accomplished everything that he dreamt off. There simply wasn't anymore for him to do. He's achieved so much, brought so much joy and love and broke so many records. His mission was accomplished.

We have to think of the peace that Michael is at now. Michael will never have to worry a day about the problems of tomorrow. He will never have to be misunderstood ever again. He will never have to fall prey to any more fake friends. He will never have to be hurt, backstabbed or feel lonely. He will never have to be stressed out and God knows that he was stressed out so many times in his life. He is free to fly. He is free to feel blissful. Michael was the real Peter Pan. He never grew old, he was always youthful and now he is youthful for eternity. :wub:

Michael Jackson achieved more one short life time than the average person would have in ten. Be proud of him(which I'm sure you are)

Open your eyes, God had his reasons.
 
Here is mine:

Michael has been an inspiration to me throughout my life. Everytime i listen to his music it brought a smile to my face, as it did to may others. Michael will always be remebered for the love , joy and positivity he has brought into this world. I for one will always remeber that along with his music. He has healed the world and helped many people. This kind man, will always be in my heart. I Love you always Michael. To Prince, Paris ,Blanket and the Jackson family, I want you to know that i will be praying for you all.

I have grown up with Michael and the Jackson 5, although i never had the honor of meeting him, i feel like i lost a brother. His music was inspirational and has touched many people. His fans loved him and i know how much he loved his fans. He was such a kind and loving man. I feel that he was very misunderstood by many people. My heart goes out to the entire Jackson family especially the three kids. My thoughts and prayers will always be with you. I will always love Michael.

This poem was written by me, and inspired by many of his songs.

My deepest sympathy goes to all of his family members, friends, and fellow fans. We are all in mourning.

The Jackson family is in my thoughts and prayers.

In Remembrance Of Michael Jackson

Say, Say, Say, it isn't so that the King Of Pop had to go.

Do you remember the time when we heard the news of his passing? The whole world went Off The Wall!

The news made us all wanna Scream, and book a room in The Heartbreak Hotel.

I remember my childhood, filled with Thriller like events, singing your songs, and made us all wanna become Dancing Machines like you!

Can You Feel It, the disbelief we're in, as we muddle through with our grief over our beloved King Of Pop?

We are Not Alone, as your songs still linger on in our heats.

Your fans Just Can't Stop Lovin' you, this much is true.

It Don't Matter If You're Black Or White, we are all here to unite for one purpose only - to remember Michael Jackson.

Enjoy Yourself, and rejoice. Let's Dance, Let's Shout, Let's Shake Our Bodies Down To The Ground and celebrate his life and legacy!

We Never Will Say Goodbye!

R.I.P. Michael Jackson. You Were Gone Too Soon, and will always be a part of History! I will never forget you!!
 
Oh what could I say about you dear Michael?
The prince who made me become me,
The one that helped me fit in my own skin, though your music?

I see you in my dreams dear Michael,
Each and every night you visit me,
Telling me you’re okay, and finally at peace.

But we need you here dear Michael,
You were an angel on earth.
A king amongst men, giving to all that had none.

I miss you so dear Michael,
You were the closest thing I had to a best friend,
The one who understood, and shared my need, for love and peace.

Thank you for teaching us dear Michael,
We shall carry the values you taught us each and every day,
And we always will have you in our hearts.

It hurts to say goodbye dear Michael,
You will always be alive within our souls,
We love you, and that will never end.
 
One day, a few years ago, I woke from a nap and felt a poem brewing, bubbling up from deep within. I knew that it would be about Michael--about how he made me feel.

But as the words flowed they seemed to describe a vision of heaven--a state of being where one feels loved and accepted and totally at peace. That is how Michael always made me feel.

And now our dear Michael has found his eternal rest...

Where The Heart Is

Have you ever wondered
About a place you want to go
A meadow
By a forest
Next to a hillside
Overlooking the ocean
A place you've dreamed of
For oh so long
Where the air is fresh
The sunshine fills you with warmth
And careless clouds float
Towards an unknown destination
A place where your soul feels at home
A secret place
A place you know you'll recognize
A place of beauty
Echoing with the sound of children's laughter
A place where the sun sparkles on dew drops
And dust scatters on the beams of light
As butterflies take flight
A meadow where the grass is soft
And daisies flirt with the bees
A place where the days are long with languid dreaming
And the amber-violet sky takes your breath away
As the sun kisses the sea
A place where the darkness of night
Covers you like a blanket
While the stars entertain you
With their twinkling dance
The heavens embrace you with wisdom
Filling you to overflowing
With the breath of God
A place where you are free to be
Where you drink in Life
From a spring of happiness
That never runs dry
A place where you are never lonely
Because you are part of the scene
Part of the earth and the sea
A blade of grass
A dragonfly's gossamer wing
And when one day you find your secret place
You discover that it was always there
In your heart
Waiting for you to open your eyes
And see
And know
That home is where the heart is
When the heart is full of love.

Michael's heart was always full of love. Wherever he is now, he is at home--in the heavenly places, in our hearts, with his children and family in spirit and in his art, still ministering love and beauty to the world.

I did not hold him on a pedestal
I held him in my heart

He wasn't made of metal
Like the money that men grabbed,
Nor even of rhinoceros hide
But flesh and blood, like any other man

He wasn't tireless, though he rarely slept
Throughout the quiet of the night
His poetry grew upon the window frames
And melodies escaped like bubbles through the pane.

He rose with each new day
Brushed the clouds of myth away
Pulled on his shoes
And got the breakfast ready for his kids

He did the best he could
His best was phenomenal

But mostly he was kind
That was the thing...
That was what mattered–
To him
To those he loved.

I did not hold him on a pedestal
I held him in my heart.

A Minstrel’s Tale

Once upon a time
In a land not far away
There lived a minstrel tall and dark
His voice as fair as day

Upon the clouds His wishes sung
And in the rain his tears
And all across the land was heard
The echo of his prayers

High in the hills and valleys deep
His song rang out so true
He dared to share with pure heart
The wisdom that he knew

The angels were his dearest friends
Beside him day and night
To guard him from his enemies
And rescue him from plight

For darkness stalked him endlessly
His freedom to curtail
To hide his light—divinely given
His mission thwart and fail

From history’s page his message cried
Of tolerance and peace
To overcome the pain of war
And from revenge—release.

In clarity of lyrics deep
With eyes that burned like fire
He moved the hearts of all who heard
Renewal to inspire

He sang of races, colours, creed
To live in harmony
To celebrate and not despise
God’s given diversity

To see the world through childlike eyes
Unscarred by fear and greed
Would open up all hearts and minds
And bring the peace we need

From one horizon to the next
The minstrel struck a chord
And though his enemies attacked
He never raised his sword

With truth his emblem, love his call
All pure hearts and free
Echoed the minstrel’s longings
For a world of harmony

And still his song rings out today
The melody as clear
To choose to love each one we meet
And not to live in fear

wonder of you


like the stars in the heavens
the mysteries of you have no count
in wonder i consider that which i
can conceive, knowing it is not
in the slightest of all there is
to grasp, in you the mundane ceases,
and the hunger and need to go deeper
forever increases, the kindness that is
yours to share is as vast as the skies that
hold all the mysteries that wink to me
from on high, ever there and ever playful,
by and by you reveal that your fountain
never goes dry, were i to drink from it
til the end of time, still only a small
portion of it would i have, yet the portion
which is given to me is mine, and mine
exclusively, and yet you let no one go thirsty
nor leave anyone in want, for your fountain is
as eternal as you are, springing from the same
source, ever giving and ever loving, your
mysteries shall always be and it is my joy to
consider the you in the who that you are
 
My name is Shayla and Michael is my greatest inspiration. I've been an MJ fan for as long as I can remember. Michael was the most beautiful spirit I have been blessed to have known. Its incredible to think about all the achievements he has done in his life. He has contributed the most to charities, sold the most records, made captivating music, and he was just so beautiful inside and out. He has influenced the world of music more than any other. He held the title King of Pop but I would also like to call him the King of Music! I am so inspired by him and he has inspired me to be who I am today, a better person. I will work through his mission to heal the world and have even decided to sponsor a child. I will pray for the Jackson family every day. Michael is always in my heart! God bless you all.

My poem, simply titled "Love". :lol: That I wrote couple years ago.

Singing heart,
Beating love,
Communication at its finest.
Closeness, don't separate,
Bright smile, infatuate.

Petals of a flower,
Delicate to the touch,
A sensitive subject,
That means too much.

Hold with purity, and honest grip,
Guide through air,
Clocks that tick,
Time goes on,
But the hold, still strong...

Simple meaning,
Complicated way,
Two that connect,
Help each other to be okay...
Eyes that glow,
Threw the darkest of times,
An escape that keeps you isolated,
Into a different place...
Filled with sweet bliss,
Music to ones ears...
Sweetness, joy and happy tears.

Laced fingers,
Hand in hand,
The beating of a heart in command.
What you want, to satisfy, to be,
Both in love so graciously...
Forever more compatible,
And ever so pleased,
It's like they were always meant to be.
A dream so perfect, cast upon each others gaze,
Came true, and now taking advantage,
Of the beautiful moment, a delicate haze.

Smiles exchanged,
Secrets told,
Trust is the main...
In each others arms,
You will find that comfort,
That can ease whatever pain...
Everyday is an adventure,
All because it is love that came.


:)

I don't know how 'insperational' this is but I love this picture of him. I made is pretty quick so its not great but I wanted to be done in time! :)

And also a message since I suck at poetry:

A couple days ago, I was talking to my mom about when I was younger, I'd stand in front of a fan and air guitar to my current favorite Michal Jackson song. As great as those memories are, she brought up one that I was too young to remember. She said that when I was about 4 years old, Michael was my imaginary friend! For over a full year, I had him with me wherever I went and everyone would have to acknowledge his pressence. If I was to sit somewhere, there would have to be another spot for Michael! If I were to eat something, I'd have to save some for Michael! My mom did not realise this "Michael" I kept speaking to was actually an imaginary Michael Jackson until she walked in on me and 'him' watching "Beat It" on TV and I commented to him "You did good there, Michael!"

Twenty years later, I still consider myself one of Michaels kids. He taught us about peace, love, and how to make the world a better place. Michael is the primary reason I got involved with childrens charities as soon as I started earning some babysitting money when I was 13. Today I am a member of several charities, and I still credit Michael for being my main influence for wanting to do so from such an early age. There is a whole generation of people around the world who grew up loving Michael, and his legacy will live forever through us. I can only hope that as he watches us from above, we make him smile -that beautiful smile- with satisfaction and pride.

Love Always,

Michael's Agony
written by : Maggie

The child who must grow within,
Has to be the kind of father he never knew to his own kin.
He laughs and plays until the break of dawn,
Till he and his children become tired and worn.

How much more can Michael give to us before his fragile shell breaks,
Of putting on acts that everything's great?
It's effecting his album which keeps being pushed back,
And everyone around him is constantly giving him flack.

Michael appears angry, sad and somewhat forlorn,
About his life, his children and the world which he was born.
He's only human, he can't heal the entire world,
Of it's complexities, hunger, hatred and turmoil.

One day we will all hear the news that Michael has retired,
To the world of peace and quiet he so desires.

His star will go on shining throughout eternity,
Echoing his words to all, "you are not alone,"
"I'm here with you, in song, in dance and I'll always be in hearts.
for we shall never ever part!"
 
I wrote this a few years ago and it has helped me this past month so i wanted to share it in the hopes it may get passed along to Michaels family.

Life can be such a mystery
To you
To me
Why does God work in such mysterious ways

It seems that even thou He may take something away
He will sooner or later return something into your life.
You may not even realize it is there at first.

If you stop running after that which is gone
You will see that there is something right there

Stop tryign to live in the past
For if you live in yesterday
Today will pass you by
And tomorrows will never come.

So hold tight onto each day
Treat them as your last
And live, love, learn

We can not live in the past
We can only learn
But to do this we must go forth
And live today
So the tomorrows will come.

Just a girl~Heather :)

if you feels its to sad or not appropriate i understand but its what has helped me this past month. To focus on what i can do to live and enjoy life, to live for those tomorrows.
 
If it isn't too late, here is a pic.

michael is up in heaven,
he rises above the clouds,
and as his fans look up above to see him,
he will be looking down on them.

michael is loved all over the world,
his music will be played,
his legacy will be continued,
his dance techniques will remain.

the past few months have been a nightmare,
were lost,sad,crying and alone,
for michael was our inspiration,
he gave us hope and joy,

for the michael jackson we all know,
would not want us to be alone,
so this i will say to all of his fans,
dont despair cry or be sad,
for michael would want us to carry on,
being funny,loving and most of all BAD.

our hearts go out too his family,
especially his three kids,
we will love you all forever,
as you remain in our thoughts and our preyers.

I hope it isn't too late, I was on a trip and just got back now. I wrote this on the 9 hour drive. :)

Title: I Love You More

Like a gift
From heaven he came,
With laughter so pure
Like new summer's rain.

And eyes that twinkled
With pure delight,
And a smile that shined through
The darkest of nights.

Though at first glance
He seemed quiet and shy,
His music and genius
You cannot deny

He was always the first
To laugh in the rain
To pull us through
The joy and the pain

He taught us to love
And to live off the wall
He showed us he cared
About things so small

But this isn’t farewell
More so to remember
That because of him
Our hearts burn like ember

So thank you Michael
For putting love into
Each one of us
Like it was in you

But to Michael, words cannot express how thankful I am to you and how much I love you.
I believe in charities and donations because of you.
I believe that the man in the mirror really can make a change.
I love animals and children because of you.
I realize that the media isn't always telling the truth because of you, and I don't buy anything supporting them.
I learned to never hurt life, even if it’s just a tiny bug, because of you.
I learned that growing up is over rated, and that love is all we need, because of you.
I’ve found innocence because of you.
When I’m feeling sad or down, the thought of you gives me a reason to smile again.
I feel like an old loving soul, even if I'm only 15, but at the same time I feel young because of you.
I'm sure God will take good care of you and I can't wait to meet you up in heaven. I know you've probably heard "I Love You" so many times that it's lost it's meaning, but you really must believe me, because what I feel cannot be put into words. My love is just so huge, so massive, that when I try to put it into writing it comes out so small.
So Michael, trust me when I say this, I love you and I trust you. And I believe in you more then I've ever believed in anyone before. You're my angel, my someone in the dark.

Thank you for everything,
Sarah. xoxo

If you find any mistakes please correct them, I don't want to look like the kid that can't spell. ;)
Thanks!
I would donate money if I could, but I'm not old enough to be able to get a credit card and everything, sorry! :(

If we can still participate I'd like to submit these drawings. If I can only do one, please just do the little girl one.

I drew this picture in High School thinking of Michael. Because I knew he loved children. I was hoping to give it to him one day.

This is also a drawing by me. I just loved drawing Michael's beautiful eyes.
