Michael
Elf, sprite, boy child
dashing dark eyes
never land orphan
velvet feet that danced
light as air that soar
in child like dreams of
lands and faraway places
where innocence prevails..
Sweetest songs from angel lips
expressions of fear and loneliness
that hid behind the mask,
he unveiled on the dark stage.
begged to be understood by those
who mocked the man who longed
to soar away and afar to lands where
children play in storybook gardens
and now he sleeps..
eternal peace in heaven's arms..
