MJ Tribute: Make The World A Better Place

Joel from Max-Jax wrote/made an emotionally beautiful tribute song for Michael. I think it speaks volumes to what most of us are feeling these days. His words ring so true, and touched me so much. I wanted to post, in the wishes that everyone listen, and become inspired...by our dear beloved Michael.

Thank you so much Joel!

~Silent Feet~




NOTE: This poem has taken 3 days to get out of my head, worded properly, and complete. Even know reading it back to myself, I feel that it's still missing something. Something more I wished to say, something more I know I'm feeling...but just like everything inside of my head since June 25th...nothing i turn into words make complete sense.

Silent Feet...silent feet, that's all my mind kept saying over and over. I had to go deep inside the depths of my soul to figure out these words. Silent feet...oh Michael, how I love your feet. Ever since I was a child I have been drawn to your feet, so attracted, amazed, in compete and udder love with their magical beauty.

Now they are silent...and have turned into my fantasy all over again.

My Silent Feet...oh how I miss you....

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


~Silent Feet~
(Michael,)

A single spot of light
Shines down, the tears it pours
Nothing left to fill it's void
Now stands alone, an empty dance floor

No rhythmic beat
Or passionate song
Sung by the wind that you would stir
Beneath your silent feet

It's urning for your embrace
This lonely empty dance floor
And the smile it would bring to your face
Continuing to dance; your feet would soar

But now sits a single spot light
Forever it will wait for you
It's flowing down, my tears it pours
I'm crying for your silent feet, upon this lonely empty dance floor

Because there is no more rhythmic beat
Or passionate song
Being sung by the wind that use to stir
Beneath your now silent feet

I love you eternally

~Michael, I Love To Thank You For~

Like the moon on water
Shimmering in the sky
Shadows dancing in it's light
Watching the night pass by

It's that feeling that overcomes you
Being overwhelmed by emotion
Like standing under the stars
Or being waltzed over the ocean

Like the sun grazing a mountain
Finally rising to its peak
Beautifully you urn to touch
In your heart, this dream you seek

Like an inspiring thought
Inside your purist truth

No matter how many times
Ive said these things
Thought these thoughts
or dreamed these dreams

It all come back to me
and these are the things
Michael,I love to love about you

Ever since I was young
You have painted me a glorious canvas
That I carry with me
Long after they are done.


Like a lonely sailor
Longing to find his sea
The water very still
But the rAiN you pour down on me

A soulful song
Sung from a heart
Your voice saying over and over
'I'll Never Let You Part'

No matter how many times
Ive said these things
Thought these thoughts
or dreamed these dreams

These are the things
Michael, I Love to thank you for.

We Had Him - For Michael Jackson

We Had Him
~For Michael Jackson


By Dr.Maya Angelou

Beloved's, now we know...that we know nothing
Now that our bright and shinning star can slip away from our finger tips
Like a puff of summer wind
Without notice our dear love can escape our douting embrace
Sing our songs, among the stars
and walk our dances across the face of the moon
In the instant we learned Michael is gone, we know nothing
No clocks can tell our time, and no oceans can rush our tides.
With the abrupt absence of our treasure
Tho we are many, each of us is achingly alone
Piercingly alone
Only when we confess our confusion
can we remember that he was a gift to us
and we did have him
he came to us from the creator
trailing creativity in abundance
Despite the anguish of life he was sheeft in mother love, and family love
And survived, and did not more then that, he thrived with passion and compassion
Humor, and style
We had him
Whether we knew who he was, or did not know
He was ours, and we were his
We Had Him
Beautiful, delighting our eyes
He raked his hat,slant over his brow
And took a pose on his toes for all of us,
and we laughed and stomped our feet for him.
We were enchanted with his passion,
because he held nothing
He gave us all he had been given
today in Tokyo, beneath the Eiffel Tower, in Ghana's Black Star Square
In Johannesburg, and Pittsburgh
In Birmingham Alabama, and Birmingham England
We are missing Michael Jackson
But we do know, we had him,
and we are thankful!

Stevie Wonder's Tribute to MJ 06.26.05

This first video is from the acutal concert... Just 1 day after receiving the news bout Michael. Its witha talk box, i dont know why he wished to do it like this, maybe so he didnt have to strain his voice, over his sadness. As you can see he is barely able to get thru the whole song.



The last video...is so precious. Stevie instead of playing his own music for his encore, he tributed Michael again. So touching, so sad...shows simply how 'Just Good Friends' they really are.
Bless you Mr. Wonder, in this time of loss...

~I’m Missing You Today~

Note...This poem I wrote, gosh so long ago now it seems but really...just 4 years ago. As I was going thru all these folders for a certain writing I did, i came across this, hit the pit of stomach so hard...sooooo hard, and then I lost all control when I looked at the date in which I wrote this. Sigh...speaks more the truth now...Michael, oh Michael....I'm Missing you today <3


~I’m Missing You Today~

I got so used to seeing you everyday
Your smile embedded into my thoughts
The way you walk…
The way your arms sway
I can’t believe how much
I’m missing you today

My mind is so used to seeing you everyday
Finger running across your chin
The way your hair
Blew in the wind
Your feet stepping
Into my glare
Oh Michael,
I can’t believe how much
I’m missing you today

I got so used to seeing you everyday
The way you presented yourself
With the Victory sign
The way you kissed your fingers
To touch the hand of time
Oh my God Michael,
I’m missing you today


Where ever you are,
What your doing everyday
Please remember
How much we love you
And honor your being
Honor your innocence
And honor your meaning
I got so used to seeing you everyday
I think that’s why
Michael,
I’m missing you today

~What You Have Given Me~

(Originally Written 01.08.06 11:27pm)


~What You Have Given Me~
Through Your Beautiful Dance

Michael,
What you have given me
There are so many things
Maybe when I was a child
Yes I should start at the beginning

5 years old
A little girl
Start struck from ‘Thriller’
I had to be yours

Bothered my parents
Every night and day
Begging for your cassette tape
For everyone I had to play

Michael,
What you have given me
Since that very time
Is love for creativity
Through words of rhyme

A love for your feet
Watched you on TV
Wrapped up in your dance
Oh how I wished
To live in your stance

Memorized all your steps
Through every era
A teenager now
Still a love for you was kept

Michael,
What you have given me
Since 1986
Is something I carry with me
Each time I rhyme
In 1993, when I was 12
I was schooled at home
I was very sick
And in this time
You were too
But I carried on with my days
Knowing that you Michael,
We’re going to be safe.

Throughout my age
13, 14, 15, 16
You were there
My bedroom covered in your pictures
From my floor to the window glare
At your beautiful presence
Michael I did stare

What you have given to me
Now an adult
You’ve shown me how to be unselfish
Making my heart a home
Loving you, the man
Has never left me alone

Michael what you have given me
In the past 3 years
Is something I never thought I would find
Though it’s brought me to tears
I would like to thank you,
For my positive voices family
Our love for you,
Brought us together
A chain of love to wrap you up
For many more years

We stood by you
With prayers of love
And we felt your thanks
Through God above

So Michael
What you have given me
Are things I carry with me everyday
My love for rhyme and words
Your feet, your stance
Everyday I live
Through your beautiful dance

AJ Rafael's Piano/Acoustic Tribute To MJ



This video touched my soul...what a beautiful voice, a beautiful arrangement, and what another beautiful way to show the world, just how inspiring Michael is, and deep his Legacy will continue to sail across this world.

You have been apart of me almost my whole life Michael, yet I am still finding ways you amaze me...Something magical just doesnt come around for any reason.

You were put here, on this earth to do what you did...


Thank you 'God'

June 23rd~They Don't Care About Us~MJJ <3

There are simply no words...

NKOTB Michael Dedication...I'll Be There...LIVE...6.25.09

Any of us girls out there, when we were teens, knew...New Kids On The Block...and understood Michael's influence on the group. They covered I'll be there, in their later concerts, and did a beautiful job.

While on tour, the stop was Detroit...June 25th, they got word of Michaels passing and had to go on stage that night. Fresh, raw...and this dedication to Michael is amazingly done. To be where the Jackson 5's career really took off....wow! The emotion...flows...the love...outstanding...

Bless you NKOTB!!!

My Rays Of Sunshine...

Thank you God...thank you for...







Thank you...

Helping Others?

This is 2 of the 4 'letters, and 'notes' I have received from fans, and other followers of our Beloved Michael, explaining expressions, and thanking me for my blog. Thanking me for sharing my words, my rawness, my experience...and simply my devastation. A couple were anonymous, and 2 are from people I know. People I didn't say hey read my blog, read this...they simply saw it and took it upon themselves to do so. I wanted to share 2 because I was deeply touched, that they felt honored to come here to read my doings...and i am truly honored because it said it 'helped' them.

"Read your blog Laura, Ty, have not been able to cry about it am bawling now Ty so much *Yahoo Smilie Hug* Laura, i cant say that i had him as much in my heart as you but, he was there, and i have been thinking and thinking why i had not cried yet about it, you know i cried about Farrah Fawcett but, when it came to Michael Jackson i was numb, that's not like me, i am a crier, have read alot about his death and nothing was bringing tears only made me more numb, but your blog helped...Thank you!"~Dawlbabby (love you sis!) NOTE: THIS IS NOT PV4MJJ DOLLBABY!!


"I just wanted to write you rAiN and say thank you so much for beautifully expressing your love proudly for the world to read. I don't think you realize how much this helps others. People that can't have a strong voice like yours. Or maybe loudly expressing their rawness like you have done. I am here to say thank you so much MJ fan to another obvious devoted MJ fan. its so good to see someone raw like you putting your real feelings and emotions out in the public, and not shying away being proud and not scared of ridicule. Your words have helped me alot. I am proud to say I have read the realness of a true MJ fan today. May God Bless You Always" ~Anonymous, New Mexico 45yrs


Now when I set out to make this blog. I selfishly just thought of myself really...Anyone that knows me, knows...I'm a writer. In my heart, to the deepest part of my soul. I have been since I can remember. I must write, if I'm feeling happy, overwhelmed, overjoyed or devastated. I must do this so my heart and console itself. To help in the personal therapy I learnt very early on...My sea of rAiNcRiEs is wide in its path, and it runs to the deepest part of my solitude. Michael plays a huge part of my rAiNcRiEs. (This is a complete story on its own, that i will post soon, I'm just not emotionally ready to write this chapter yet.) So when Michael passed...my first instinct was to write everything down. Get it out...scribble it down...knowing later on I was going to use this. My therapy...

I just wanted to say thank you so much for the few that have reached out and expressed your most touching words to me. You will never realize what that did to my soul. You are now swimming amongst these rAiNcRiEs that fill my heart.

Peace and Love
~rAiN

Better On The Other Side




Mad Mad Love 4 These Boi's...
This video is raw...completely raw. Just hours after hearing the news...They got it going on...

~Taydoe writes: Taydoe got the bad news about Michael Jackson and he called Game, since he knows he was a fan of MJ also. "Damn that's crazy. I gotta pay my respects. I'm doing a tribute song!, Game said." Taydoe's first thought was to edit a tribute video from Taydoe TV. But when he came up with this brilliant idea, it was only right to collaborate and direct a video to accompany the song. Taydoe sent one camera to the hospital, one camera to the house and one camera to the studio to ensure we cover all avenues on this day. During the editing process, the footage was so monumental in the sense that everyone was together and enjoying each other's love for MJ. Taydoe enjoyed the process of directing this Tribute video and feel honored to be a part of history. We love you MJ!! You will never be forgotten.~
