Here's a poem I wrote:
Title: Michael (A Poem)
Ages ago,
An Angel stole my heart.
He made me feel emotions
I'd never felt before.
He gave me the insight to see
There was something beautiful inside of me.
Words cannot express my appreciation
For everything this angel bestowed.
His voice, His being, His light,
Lifted me up when I was low.
His essence was that of pure innocence,
But one look in his eyes
Showed he held the wisdom of an ancient sage.
Some considered him fragile and weak,
But in truth he was the epitome of courage.
He dared to live as who he was
Rather than as others wanted.
He was a dreamer who lived outside the box.
He stood firm in what he believed,
Even when all seemed lost.
He made it through every trial thrown his way.
It didn't matter what the world thought ---
He'd survived,
With his head held high.
He gave so much
And never asked for anything in return.
And as is often the case,
Many took and never gave,
What he desired;
To be loved simply for who he was,
Not looking to be saved.
He was a gift to the world.
This angel,
Who wanted to do nothing more
Then to help those in need.
The poor, The sick, The dying, The young,
A message the world was not ready to heed.
And sadly,
When this angel had given all he could,
After struggling for years to be understood,
He did one last dance,
One last song,
And in an instant,
He was gone.
My heart shattered and my soul cried out.
This wasn't right and it wasn't fair.
How could this angel be gone?
He was just here!
The world heard this angel's pleas a minute too late.
He had tried to reach them all,
Tried to help so many;
He stood up and answered the call.
But all the world could do was hate,
Until the recognition came,
But it was too late.
This angel took flight
Soaring high into the sky.
Past the birds, Past the clouds, Past the sun and moon,
He flew past the comets and planets,
Reaching far beyond the stars.
After hurting for so long,
After knowing joy and sadness,
After nearly succumbing to the world's madness,
The Universe called him back.
Ending his pain and bringing him peace,
Going into an Eternity that will never cease.
Now the world mourns the loss of this gift,
Many never recognized,
And millions of others idolized,
But with his passing his dream was realized.
In a moment the world came together as one,
Over the loss and many could finally see ---
This Angel for who he was in all of his beauty.
And though it isn't right,
By leaving this world
He illuminated it with light.
I love and miss you Michael,
Wherever you are.
You've finally taken your rightful place;
Shining brightest among the stars.
