Elegy For Michael Jackson (2)

Refrain:
You shimmering waves on the ocean blue
Dance not again, he cannot dance with you
You weeping forests where the winds wail too
Let your bright tears fall in the pool of dew
The world of pop will never be the same again
The king is dead, and life is a dream so vain.

          The world of pop will never be the same again, dim 
          The lights for him forever, my immortal performer,
          My childhood mirror. Death is victor and we the victim
          Of shallow strifes, mourn for him! mourn my brother!
          Thank you for the time you gave to us, thank you, child
          For memories; thank you for the songs you sang here
          Thank you, Michael, you were the greatest ever, a Nile
          That flowed through desert of needs, you stilled the fear.

          Micheal Jackson at last will find his rest, and Ben, we
          Hope he will attain what he was looking for. So brief
          The journey 'cross the stage of life, only time's story
          Capture the vanity of our strife, but naught abate grief
          "Even though the pain and heartache Seem to follow me 
          Wherever I go" how do I say goodbye to him? And shall
          He say "you are not alone?" when he plays this memory
          On discs beyond brink where the "thriller" is anecdotal?
          
          What solace did we give him, when we understood naught?
          What haven was there for him for all the love he gave
          Did we not prance when like a butterfly in a web was caught/
          O but nothing breaks his heart again, in the silent grave.
          Michael we miss you, the white charade of the doting sun
          Shall never the same again, the hooting cheers of the fans
          Shall convert to silver rain, now the river's course is run
          Now the footprints fade on the dancing mirage of the sands.
