Love (xoxo) represents us, the heart represents the hoax, and the arrows represent the things that try to throw us offguard (TMZ, lies, the family, ect.).
The arrows are constantly charging at the heart, but love always find a way to keep the heart going, no matter how many times the arrows come, they do not escape, because every attempt the hoax encounters stays with it because it could possibly lead to something else!
I also came across these today and really loved them....
Believe and trust; through stars and suns
Through life and death, through soul and sense
His wise, paternal purpose runs
The darkness of His providence
Is starlit with Divine intents
(Author unknown)
When nothing on which to lean remains,
When strongholds crumble to dust:
When nothing is sure but that God still reigns,
That is just the time to trust.
It's better to walk by faith than sight,
In this path of yours and mine:
And the darkest night, when there's no outer light
is the time for faith to shine
(F.B. Meyer)
These are beautiful, Doll. The first one is by Whittier
Revelation
by John Greenleaf Whittier
"And I went into the Vale of Beavor, and as I went I preached repentance to the people. And one morning, sitting by the fire, a great cloud came over me, and a temptation beset me. And it was said: All things come by Nature; and the Elements and the Stars came over me. And as I sat still and let it alone, a living hope arose in me, and a true Voice which said: There is a living God who made all things. And immediately the cloud and the temptation vanished, and Life rose over all, and my heart was glad and I praised the Living God." -- Journal of George Fox, 1690.
Still, as of old, in Beavor's Vale,
O man of God! our hope and faith
The Elements and Stars assail,
And the awed spirit holds its breath,
Blown over by a wind of death.
Takes Nature thought for such as we,
What place her human atom fills,
The weed-drift of her careless sea,
The mist on her unheeding hills?
What recks she of our helpless wills?
Strange god of Force, with fear, not love,
Its trembling worshipper! Can prayer
Reach the shut ear of Fate, or move
Unpitying Energy to spare?
What doth the cosmic Vastness care?
In vain to this dread Unconcern
For the All-Father's love we look;
In vain, in quest for it, we turn,
The storied leaves of Nature's book
The prints her rocky tablets took.
I pray for faith, I long to trust;
I listen with my heart, and hear
A Voice without a sound: "Be just,
Be true, Be merciful, revere
The Word within thee: God is near!
"A light to sky and earth unknown
pales all their lights: a mightier force
than theirs the powers of Nature own,
And, to its goal as at its source,
His Spirit moves the Universe.
"Believe and trust. Through stars and suns,
Through life and death, through soul and sense,
His wise, paternal purpose runs;
The darkness of his providence
Is star-lit with benign intents."
O joy supreme! I know the Voice,
Like none beside on earth or sea;
Yea, more, O soul of mine, rejoice,
By all that he requires of me,
I know what god himself must be.
No picture to my aid I call,
I shape no image in my prayer;
I only know in Him is all
Of life, light, beauty, everywhere,
Eternal Goodness here and there!
I know He is, and what He is,
Whose one great purpose is the good
Of all. I rest my soul on his
Immortal Love and Fatherhood;
And trust Him, as his children should.
I fear no more. The clouded face
Of Nature smiles; through all her things
Of time and space and sense I trace
The moving of the Spirit's wings,
And hear the song of hope she sings.
In Our Darkest Hour
In My Deepest Despair
Will You Still Care?
Will You Be There?
In My Trials
And My Tribulations
Through Our Doubts
And Frustrations
In My Violence
In My Turbulence
Through My Fear
And My Confessions
In My Anguish And My Pain
Through My Joy And My Sorrow
In The Promise Of Another Tomorrow
I'll Never Let You Part
For You're Always In My Heart.Michael Jackson
Thank you SOL for posting the full version of Revelation by Whittier. It is truly stunning, deeply moving, very spiritual, indeed beautiful. The book I have had only one verse quoted and no name. I appreciate it very much. X0
So I gave it a try... and wrote a poem. Bear with me I'm not english my vocabulary is limited and I'm not an expert <!-- s --><!-- s --> but I just wanted to share with you. I followed a good advice and went in a place that I love to search for inspiration, so I went back to the park:
I went back to the park
My heart filled with expectations of spark
The faithful wind was there blowing
The leaves by him were all chanting
A song of nature elevating
The spirit in another dimension experiencing
An exquisite sensation of bliss
A precious moment worth a thousand kiss
To be remembered in times of anguish
to make the pain disappear, as fast as it takes to make a wish
I stayed there until the night
until the pain was out of sight
Because Love is what I found at the park
Illuminating my path when I went back.
God bless you all my friends and let the light shine always. <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->
I want to dedicate this poem/prayer for PoetryInMotion whose thread got linked with mine, perhaps our hearts were the same:
WHEN
When there is so much pain all around
And I am being pulled and pushed to the ground
My tears do fall
And unto You I call
Falling at Your feet
Weeping I come
Like Mary Magdalene as one
With trembling hands I reach
Will you take my soul to keep?
And this broken heart to mend?
Keep me here with you, do not send
I don't want to go there
Where no one seems to care
A world full of violence
Where lies make no sense
And cleverness pays dividends
Where minds don't grasp the truth
They need you to give them proof
It happens time and time again
I pray you say to me "this is the end"

Michael....I LOVE You MORE!!
Thank you MJforeverandAlways. How could someone who wrote such deep, heartfelt, sincere words be a Troll? I write poetry. maybe I am one too? I posted this before, but I wanted to post it again, it seems relevant, and knowing what Michael has been through in his life with many false accusations. From one who knows what that feels like, I can only say that it hurts a lot.
ACCUSED
You know my heart, You know my pain
Without You in my life, I know there is nothing to gain
Many have accused me of things that were not true
I had no one else, but I always had You
I walked alone
From dusk till dawn
With bleeding feet and empty hands
A heart so heavy but I continued to make a stand
Sitting in the darkness, wading through the mud
I kept my sights on the heavens above
Standing alone being accused
Until in my mind I became confused
I have looked to You for my release
This endless torment has to cease

Unfortunatelly, trolls do know a lot about Michael, but can´t fool people for too long <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->

Dear Gema, do you really believe that someone who writes with such beauty and purity, and has stirred something deep within is a Troll? Is this what your HEART says or is this something in your mind? I ask you with L.O.V.E, because we cannot recognise L.O.V.E with the mind.....the mind is full of fears based on past negative experiences and conditioning. If L.O.V.E stood before us, could we recognise it? (hug)
This is Sarahli's signature:
"We are here for you Michael and will always love you whatever happens.
In a world full of lies to tell the truth is a revolutionary act.
Only God knows what's in the heart of people, so let's stop judging. Just let God decide."
I ask all of us....are these just mere words?
By the way Sarahli, I loved your poem and thank you for the kind compliments about my poetry. And I thank PoetryInMotion for inspiring the poet in all of us and for this very positive thread that is helping us all come together in faith in Michael's name. I hope when he reads our posts, they will make him smile and give his soul some peace.
I love you dearly Michael, always and forever. <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->

Doll I have to say I'm with Gema on this one. When he was here I was of the opinion it didn't matter if he was/wasn't Michael but then he refused to deny it and said some things in the chatroom that were so obviously implying he was. Not coincidental things but things like asking someone to let them speak to a sick child they know as if to imply they could cure them, we all know what's been said about Michael's ability in that respect. The real Michael would of course do that but here? Not at all he'd be revealed, it was an attempt to make people think he actually was him. There was no harm in the poems but that healer stuff is messing with people's minds. And his presence was causing friction between the other members as he knew it would. Souza did the right thing by stepping in I think before it went any further. Not to say he did have malicious intentions he might just enjoy the attention. Also how do we even know he wrote those poems they could have come from anywhere?
By the way I wish no one any harm or ill intent. Just voicing the questions that arise in my heart and wanting to keep my mind open to higher influences, and not be guided by mine or other's fears.

Dear trustno1....like your name by the way!
I "hear" what you are saying, I really do. None of us know Michael personally, so we do not know what he would or would not do. I hear over and over people saying, "Michael would not do that....Michael would do this", and quite frankly that is being judgemental based on what we can see of him from the surface of his public persona. He is a person and very human...only he knows what he may or may not do in the situation that he could be in right now. Could it be that he would want to reach out to his fans over the internet whom he loves very much as we all know. He has given his life for them. So you are saying that someone else with a beautiful mind and heart could have written those poems....well, then PIM is fortunate indeed to know someone like that.
MJsBabyDoll, I have explained this issue to you a zillion times. If you still have problems with it, so be it, but this will be discussed in PM and NOT on the forum. I see you only joined last October 28, so I don't see how you can judge me, who has been dealing with this for over a year. Next time you will get an official warning.
This thread will also be locked, just like any other threads disrespecting the decisions of the mods or admins, most definitely when I have explained it to you many times.
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
