Watching from the Moon

I want to share a poem that is written by one of my favorite (local) poet from Indonesia, Sapardi Djoko Damono. This poem is called "The Day Will Come". Every time I read this poem, I always remember Michael, just in replacing the word 'poem' with 'song'...

and the song of "One Day in Your Life" keep playing in my mind.

So, here we go....

The Day Will Come

The day will come

When my body no longer exists

But in the lines of this poem [song]

I will never let you be alone

The day will come

When my voice is no longer heard

But within the words of this poem [song]

I will continue to watch over you

The day will come

When my dreams are no longer known

But in the spaces found in the letters of this poem [song]

I will never tired of looking for you

For the love that Michael had shared with us,

that we shall continue to spread his words and realize his dreams,

knowing he is watching from above, and he will never leave us...

Always remember: We are not alone, we never will

♪♫ Would you ever even dream

To go to the extreme?

And would you ever wanna

Be the one to rescue me?

On the moon,

that's where you'll find me soon.. ♪♫

"A star can never die.

It just turns into a smile and melts back into the cosmic music, the dance of life"

~ Michael Jackson ~

Remembering You

The saddest thing of today is remembering the sweetness of you,
remembering when you were here
Provide the luxury beauty in this Earth
and bring the sweetest joy in the midst of life

The saddest thing of today is remembering the sweetness of you,
although eyes haven't meet eyes
Thus I felt your heart presence in my life
Touched the my soul comfortably

You had left us the memories of your lifetime happiness
For us to recall with a smile
and you had left us the memories of your beautifulness
that shall be immortalized for the rest of my life..

Michael,
Your spirit shall never dies,
For thy always in heart...

Go to Sleep, Mom...

Go to sleep, Mom..

The night is getting darker...

Mom,

Please weep your tears away,

There's no need to cry

of the wounds we've been through today

Look at little sis, Mom

She's dreaming about her school

embraced the wooden pillow

smiling and drifting in to her own

Mom,

Let's pray.

Take us away from this hunger,

and from this coldness night

"Dear our warmth God,

Praise and thanks for today,

for the rice You had given to our little sister

as the yield of fighting to wrest the pieces from those worms,

rodents, and birds,

in the trash of mountain by the river side.

Hopefully tomorrow,

things shall be better,

Amen"

It's okay, Mom

You can go to sleep now

and have a sweet dreams...

"I get a taste of poverty, too.

When I go to a country – like in the Phillippines and in Trinidad and in Africa –

I really get out and go to the poor sections and talk to the people.

I sit in their little huts, their cardboard houses, and I make myself at home.

I think it’s important to know how different people feel, especially in my field of endeavor."

~ Michael Jackson, 1980

"I love to travel,

and, so far, I’ve been lucky enough to see a great deal of the world.

In certain parts of the Globe,

I’ve seen hungry children walking the streets with no shoes on.

I’m very concerned about the hungry children of the world and

I hope I can do something positive to help alleviate this problem."

~ Michael Jackson, 1976

"But just as important, let's love one and other,

let's forget hatred and turn to those that are suffering."

~ Michael Jackson, 1992

Thank you, lovely Elizabeth

Grace with beauty, charm and talent

I've posted quotes of Michael about Elizabeth in my previous blog, "What a Friendship Means.." tho those words are not enough to express how special their friendship was..

Q: "So you're Wendy and Michael is Peter?" I had asked Elizabeth Taylor afterwards.

Elizabeth: "Yeah.Yeah.There's a kind of magic between us."

"Elizabeth is also like a mother–and more than that.

She's a friend.She's Mother Teresa, Princess Diana, the Queen of England and Wendy."

~ Michael Jackson ~

Have you ever feel a true friendship?

A friend who will speak on your behalf when you no longer can say a word

A friend who will be there for you when the world leaves you alone

A friend who facing the triumph and disaster with holding hands together

A friend, who publicly defends you when no one believe you..

and a friend, who love you as being you, because no one is you-er than YOU..

And the honesty is there,

and that's enough for a true friendship...

“Elizabeth’s friendship is like the perfect jewels she owns — indestructible and eternal.”

~ Michael Jackson ~

So many tribute had been made to honor Michael and Liz' friendship, from making graphic artworks, Gifs, video, and even a dedicated side for Elizabeth, here are my favorites:

Last, but not least, a dedicated site for Dame Elizabeth Taylor: http://elizabethweloveyou.tumblr.com by @MyMJJTribute

More glimpse of their friendship:

“It is 1993, and this will be Michael Jackson’s very first Christmas.

It has taken me… I would think about 5 years of talking him into celebrating Christmas at Neverland because I understood that if you are a Jehovah’s Witness you don’t celebrate Christmas.

When he quit being a a Jehovah’s Witness I said to Michael,

‘I think Christmas is a wonderful way of celebrating love. It’s a celebration of love.’

And I can’t see Christmas without Michael or Michael without Christmas.”

~ Elizabeth Taylor ~

source

Michael: “But what Elizabeth didn’t know was that I was planning a surprise for her also.”

Elizabeth: Gasps “Oh my God! That’s amazing! I love it! Oh thank you!”

Michael: “You’re welcome.”

“The gift that I gave to Elizabeth, to me, it was unique. It looks like a painting but it isn’t. It’s a tapestry. This guy did it piece by piece.” ~ Michael Jackson ~

On February 19, 1994, at "The Jackson Family Honors" event held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“Today we honor Elizabeth Taylor for who she is, as much as what she does.

For me, Elizabeth Taylor is the ultimate humanitarian, because she is the embodiment of love, compassion, faith, and integrity and she has been that ideal for hundreds and millions of fans over the five decades of her illustrious career.

Elizabeth began her career when she was nine years old and since then, has starred in some of the greatest of all American films. She has been, and she continues to be, one of the most celebrated women of the twentieth century. I know, from having the honor of being a friend of Elizabeth Taylor's, that she's in no need of another trophy or plaque to recognize her humanitarian work on behalf of the fight against AIDS.

And I also know Elizabeth is here tonight not for any ego gratification, but because this gives her another chance to get the all important message out to the public. The message of AIDS awareness and the need for compassion and the efforts to find a cure.

To the formation of AMFAR in 1986 and her own Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation, no one has done more to fight this dreaded disease.

But in knowing Elizabeth, I know her reward comes from the work itself, from the small battles won in the all-out war, from the gains she's been responsible for by eliminating the problem for the world to see and from the unspoken things of the victims who's lives she has enhanced during their times on earth. In the midst of my recent trials and tribulations, Elizabeth stood by my side with unwavering strength and support.

Elizabeth stands for truth.

She's immune to criticism and unfearful to any challenge and places the highest truth in the wisdom of her own heart and the direct knowledge of her own intuition.

She is not swayed by public opinion, because she knows in the end truth always triumphs.

Elizabeth, I love you and we honor you not only for what you stand for, but also for the magnificence of who you are.

The world is a better place because of your existence.

Because Elizabeth is so unselfish in her devotions to humanity, it is doubly fitting that she be the recipient of the Jackson Family Honors award."

~ Michael Jackson ~

I've wrote a poem about friendship few years ago,

and I thought about this poem when I heard the news about Elizabeth, and flashed back on their special friendship..

“BE COOL and RELAX”

'Cause I’ll be there when you need me

I have two eyes to look after you

I have a mouth to advice you

I have two ears to hear you

I have a nose to smell

and warn the danger that may came after you…

But…. That’s not all…

I still have two hands to lift you up

when you’re down

And I still have two foots to walk beside you

when you’re alone

So.. Don’t Worry….

'cause I’ll be here for you

Just… Be Cool.. and Relax..

And my mind are full with our memories,

that always kept in my heart

...

"[Elizabeth Taylor and I] we're like brother and sister, mother and son, lovers...

it's a potpourri... it's something special." ~ Michael Jackson ~

source

♬ Remember the time I was alone

You stood by my side and said:

"Let's be strong"

You did all these tings

That only a true friend can do.. ♬

♬... Elizabeth, I love you

The world knows your work now

Above the things on Earth now

I pray one day I'll be just like... you... ♬

source

"It's so wonderful to be with her [Elizabeth].

I can really relax with her, because we've lived the same life and experienced the same thing"

~ Michael Jackson ~

and so, this beautiful friendship continues in Heaven,

lovely friends re-united again, only this time, it will last forever...

Thank you, lovely Elizabeth, for always be there for Michael,

We love you more...

Both of you are safe now from those tabloid junkies :)

We promise, to keep your legacy alive, to spread your messages, and to continue your humanitarian efforts...

"If it is not to make the world better what is money for?" ~ Elizabeth Taylor ~

I've saved @DameElizabeth's tweets in here, if any of you want to re-read them again: http://mjacksonwords.blogspot.com/p/dameelizabeths-tweets.html

Sometimes

Sometimes I scream in silence

To giving up, unable to resilient

They give me nothing but negative words

Keep on trying making more and more wounds..

Who are they, and what are they..??

No lawsuit against them,

No trial to prosecute them

Hence, there is no peace even on your death

God is above,

but they are pretending as Him

Judging like they’re god

Sometimes I wonder,

Are you smiling from heaven, Michael..

probably you’re talking with God and say,

“That’s it... That’s exactly what always happened to me when I was on Earth!”

As if, God never knew.. :)

Yes....

I hope you can smile from above,

and lead us to bring justice for you

‘cause when your justice prevails,

that is when the world would start learn to live and love each other,

just like you used to teach us..

Letter for Michael

Every breath I take,

and every thoughts I have

are the love you shared,

that made me stepped ahead

You were there when life turned me down...

Through your reflection of life you gave me strength

By way of your wisdom words you brought me the light

And never I stop thanking God,

for shared you in my life...

You taught me to learn to live, and never look back

To aim my goals, and reach my star

To smile in ache, and laugh with tears

And to love others the way you loved

I praise you thousand words with joy and smile

Cause 'Thank you' seems never be enough to tell

Promise that my love for you shall never come to an end

Thus missing you is how I feel...

I can't describe it well,

far from perfect as you can tell..

More than words, to describe I love you most

I'm so sorry, lovely Michael... I am lost words...

These tears are the honest truth

Screaming your name to come back without a due

I know it's useless, but please just let me try...

for the umpteenth time.... (*sigh*).. as I least I tried...

After a Year

Surreal seems the right word,

After a year without your words..

One asked, "Is it real?"

But no.., no one dared to answer..

After a year,

and keep getting stronger..

One asked, "Why?"

But no.., no one could reply..

In the day after a year,

More flowers and tears flooding your crypt...

Still hoping on a washed-out dream,

Perhaps.. tomorrow, we'll wake up without tears

Summer has took over my wonderful windy season

To be honest,

It's not about death..

Because I realize,

all those exists in this world shall come to an end

But losing an Angel in this world,

wasn't something I expected

and almost one year ago,

was your time to went home,

I realized that..

What I didn't know was..

How I shocked for your leavings

and the fact that gone the way of nature,

can really break one's happiness

In a blink of an eye,

that emotions broke my heart half to death

and my body felt so empty, light and airily, that it could fly away with the wind blows..

...Summer has took over my wonderful windy season...

On my first teardrop,

I'm sending a long goodbye message

for the joy and happiness you brought to my life

I'm not try to complaining,

Though it seems your time was too short for us on Earth

They said you've been a great music icon, and we've been a loyal fans

But what they didn't knew is,

It was you that made us greater and more loyal

You taught us love, the meaning of love,

and the power of love...

And how come we couldn't not love you!

So long, my love..

You were from Him, not you went home to see Him..

You were always there since I was born,

And for almost one year, I'm still learning how to live without your existence..

Good bye, my love..

my soul of comfort,

my heart of peace,

my warrior of life,

my beautiful angel...

STOP...!! NOW!

STOP...!

Stop spreading lies..

Stop telling us fake statements..

Stop using Michael's name for your own benefit!

STOP IT...!

You're disrespecting Michael's legacy

You're being hypocrites

You're disturbing Michael's family!

STOP IT.. NOW!!

Stop twisting the truth

Stop hiding the facts

And stop trying to make us confused-it's effortless!

Cause we're tuckered out by those fake faces....

At least ONCE in your lifetime,

Please DO: Leave Michael alone

Let him Rest in Peace...

As for us,

a lil' piece of Michael has brought us LOVE

But for you,

a lil' piece of Michael to gain you dollars!

When I see Michael

When I see Michael,

I see the hardship of life..

I see the world we're living...

When I see Michael,

I see the kindness of human

And I feel love touches me...

When I see Michael,

I see salvation..

I became optimist of my life..

But, when I see Michael,

I don't see God...

I see the messenger...

And I might never see God's face,

but I saw God's miracles every day of my life...

..one of it was Michael..

"God gave me a mission, I feel, to do something for them and they have given me the support and the belief and the love to hold on, hold on. When I look in the mirror I feel healed all over again. It's like being baptized. It's like God saying, "Michael, everything will be ok," when I look in the eyes of a child."

"God and nature has blessed me with a voice. Now I want to use it to help children speak for themselves."

"Through the grace of God, I have been fortunate to have achieved many of my artistic and professional aspirations realised early in my lifetime."

"I can't take credit for it because its Gods work. He's just using me as the messenger."

~Michael Jackson~

When we must smile...

When the greatest magician died,

We may not see his ilusion of life..

When the greatest painter died,

We may see him through his paints

When the greatest comedian died,

We'd surprise that it is one of his show that is not funny, and so we're not laugh..

When the greatest actor/actress died,

His act will still remain in the movies

When the greatest entertainer died,

We shall enjoy his performance through his legacy

And we believe that those people has leave us with memories to share..

But when the purest Angel died,

We must smile and thankful

Cause he finally went home, a peaceful home..

and he leaves us with a mission to complete,

An everlasting mission of LOVE..

...for my purest Angel, Michael J. Jackson...
