You Are Not Alone

A Message From Michael...

I know you…
I know you inside and out
You are everything I’ve always dreamed
True love would be about

I, too, long to hold you
To touch your precious face
I want to be with you every single moment
And never leave this place

There are times, I know
When you didn’t think I cared
Because I had to go
And couldn’t linger with you here

But you must know how very true
My love is for you
There is nothing that will ever take
My heart and soul from you

Though my touch is fleeting
And I cannot hold you every minute of every day
Please remember, in your heart
You must know… I’m here to stay

You will find me in a sunset
You can feel me in the wind
I hang around with the stars at night
And on the moon that hovers overhead

A soft and lovely scent
That lingers in the air
Caresses your heart
Ignites that spark
And lets you know… I’m there

The leaves of April
Soft and supple
All things made brand new
Will remind you that I live forever
And I will never ever leave you

The colors of a rainbow
Bold and true
Will show you the depth
Of my love for you

The clouds will sculpt an image
Of what I want you to see
Angel wings to embrace you with
And it’s all right there for free!

The birds will carry my message to you
Their song is my lullaby
They’ll sing to you of my love and joy
You know, I always wanted to fly!

Don’t cry my love
It breaks my heart
To see you so sad and blue
Don’t ever doubt
What this love is about
Or that I’ll be right there for you

I’ll visit you in your dreams at night
With a kiss, a whisper, and a gentle touch
It’s all you’ll need to know my heart
And to make you feel my love

Just call my name
And I’ll remain
Whatever you need, my dear
Just let me know
And I won’t go
I’ll always be right here

“The words to the next song you hear. The information in the next article you read. The story line of the next movie you watch. The chance utterance of the next person you meet. Or the whisper of the next river, the next ocean, the next breeze that caresses your ear - all of these devices are Mine; all these avenues are open to ME. I will speak to you if you will listen. I will come to you if you will invite me. I will show you then that I have always been there… All ways!”

~ Neale Donald Walsch, from Conversations with God, Book 1

My Dear MJ Sisters,
Thank you for responding and sharing your thoughts here.

This message is for all of us... I really believe that. When I was thinking about this week's devotion topic and what I would write, he brought my thoughts immediately to this piece I had written in June when I was at the coast. I was in a place emotionally where I needed some reassurance from him and he sent me a cloud formation that looked like angel wings. As those angel wings moved closer to me, they spread out from the wind and covered the sky above me. It was the most magical experience! I can't even begin to describe it - there are no words. I actually felt the warmth from his embrace with those huge wings! I was mesmerized - caught entirely under his spell of Love and protection.

Yes, this was a very personal message - given to me at a time when I needed it most. But I also feel that it was given to me so that I could share it with all of you. Because HIS Love and devotion is for ALL of us - it's true!

I Love you so much... and HE Loves you MORE!

~ Char

Oh wow, what a wonderful vision you must have had on that day...

Dear Michael gave you this message when you most needed it and you shared it here at a time when I was needing to read something like this. And I know I wasn't the only one =) It really brought comfort to my heart!

Thank you for sharing your experiences with us for trusting us and opening your heart!

We're all a family here and I thank dear Michael for bringing me such great friends!

L.O.V.E.

Char all’s I can say is wow! I just cannot even find the words to say how beautiful this poem is. As always, you have moved me with your words. Char, Michael could not have chosen a more gifted angel to continue his message of love. Your words always bring comfort to me when my heart hurts so much, as Michael music has threw so much of my life. Char I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, you are such a very special person. Love to you always! Cheryl

P.S.Sorry this is so late my motherboard went out on my 1yr old computer.:( I have a lot of catching up to do.

Welcome to MJ Reflections!

Thank you for taking the time to visit and read some of my reflections and poems. This site is inspired by the life and spirit of Michael Jackson and is dedicated to his loving memory.

My hope is that you will find a little bit of inspiration in these pages, an extra boost of light for the journey. A journey many of us have been blessed to find ourselves on because of this one amazing human being who shared his heart and soul and genius with us for 50 years.

Following his death in the summer of 2009 I felt compelled, as many of you have, to learn more about Michael, the man, the child prodigy, the musical genius who provided the soundtrack to nearly every decade of our lives, the mysterious 'recluse' about whom much had been written by the media, the magnetic and electrifying entertainer who drew millions to his concerts all around the world, the iconic superstar who could not be seen in public without creating mass frenzy, and most of all, the global humanitarian who gave selflessly from all that he had been given in order to make a difference in the world.

What I have discovered on this God-directed path has had a profound effect on me personally and spiritually. It has changed my life forever. The Gift I have received is the awareness of Michael's brilliance, the immense light which radiated from deep within and was the essence of who he was. His brilliance cast a glaring spotlight on all the darkness in this world, opening our eyes to the realities of the injustice and suffering happening all around us - things we turned a blind eye to because we believed they had nothing to do with us. I whole-heartedly believe that Michael's purpose for being here was to show us the stark and ugly reality of our own indifference as a human race.

God's messages of love, peace, unity, justice, and caring for our planet and the children, were all intended to garner the attention of as many of us as possible through this most unexpected and unconventional spiritual messenger named Michael Joseph Jackson. When you think about it, what better way than through the universal language of music, a medium that would reach millions of young people all around the world? After 4 decades of entertaining us, Michael's messages have reached multiple generations, including a new generation of "fans" since his death. When God decides to send a powerful message, our Creator doesn't mess around! And this one took 50 years to gestate... God also has infinite patience!

The sheer number of people whose hearts and lives have been affected by Michael Jackson's presence on this earth is astounding and will undoubtedly never be matched. What a tremendous difference he made! Those of us who have received this precious Gift must carry his messages of love and peace always. It's the only way to effect the change that is so urgently needed. It's up to us. The Gift must be shared!

Sometimes, for me, the responsibility that goes with receiving this Gift feels so huge and daunting. I get a little shaky and wonder if I can really do all that I've been called to do. From what I've heard, many others have felt the same way at times. This is why we must support each other with our love and light - do everything we can to lift up and encourage one another on this journey.

We each have our own gifts which we bring to this mission - gifts that have been awakened or newly discovered since Michael's passing. Many of us have been called to use these gifts to share the message and inspire others. That, my friends, is what this blog is all about. If you are touched by any of my writings or if you have a reflection of your own to share, I invite you to leave a comment, share the blog with your friends, and say a prayer that others may also be inspired by the words that are written here. I welcome any and all comments that are given in the spirit of love and respect.

May God bless you on your path to making a difference in this world!

With LOVE and HOPE for a better tomorrow,

~ Charlene ~

Magical Child

Once there was a child and he was free
Deep inside, he felt the laughter
The mirth and play of nature's glee
He was not troubled by thoughts of hereafter
Beauty, love was all he'd see

He knew his power was the power of God
He was so sure, they considered him odd
This power of innocence, of compassion, of light
Threatened the priests and created a fright
In endless ways they sought to dismantle
This mysterious force which they could not handle

In endless ways they tried to destroy
His simple trust, his boundless joy
His invincible armor was a shield of bliss
Nothing could touch it, no venom, no hiss

The child remained in a state of grace
He wasn't confined in time or place
In technicolor dreams, he frolicked and played
While acting his part, in Eternity he stayed

Soothsayers came and fortunes were told
Some were vehement, others were bold
In denouncing this child, this perplexing creature
With the rest of the world he shared no feature
Is he real? He is so strange
His unpredictable nature knows no range
He puzzles us so, is he straight?
What's his destiny? What's his fate?

And while they whispered and conspired
Through endless rumors to get him tired
To kill his wonder, trample him near
Burn his courage, fuel his fear
The child remained just simple, sincere

All he wanted was the mountain high
Color the clouds, paint the sky
Beyond these boundaries, he wanted to fly
In nature's scheme, never to die

Don't stop this child, he's the father of man
Don't cross his way, he's part of the plan
I am that Child, but so are you
You've just forgotten, just lost the clue

Inside your heart sits a Seer
Between his thoughts, he can hear
A melody simple but wondrously clear
The music of life, so precious, so dear

If you could for one moment know
This spark of creation, this exuisite glow
You would come and dance with me
Kindle this fire so we could see
All the children of the Earth
Weave their magic and give new birth
To a world of freedom with no pain
A world of joy, much more sane

Deep inside, you know it's true
Just find that child, it's hiding in you.

~ Michael Jackson, Dancing the Dream, 1992

Circle of Life

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
Theres more to be seen than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done

Some say eat or be eaten
Some say live and let live
But all are agreed as they join the stampede
You should never take more than you give

In the circle of life
Its the wheel of fortune
Its the leap of faith
Its the band of hope
'Til we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life

Some of us fall by the wayside
And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with the scars

There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round

In the circle of life
Its the wheel of fortune
Its the leap of faith
Its the band of hope
'Til we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life

Lyrics by Elton John
