Poems by Michael Jackson

Here are a few poems written by Michael Jackson

~~~~THE DANCE~~~~

Consciousness expresses itself through creation. This world we live in is the dance
of the creator. Dancers come and go in the twinkling of an eye but the dance lives

on. On many an occasion when I am dancing, I have felt touched by something sacred.

In those moments, I felt my spirit soar and become one with everything that exists.
I become the stars and the moon. I become the lover and the beloved. I become the
victor and the vanquished. I become the master and the slave. I become the singer and

the song. I become the knower and the known. I keep on dancing then it is the eternal

dance or creation. The creator and creation merge into one wholeness of joy.

I keep on dancing...and dancing...and dancing. Until there is only...the dance.

~~~~MOTHER~~~~

Econs of time I've been gestating
From the unmanifets this cosmic conception
Oh this earth a fantastic reception
And then one fateful August morn
From your being I was born
With tender love you nurtured a seed
To your own distress you paid no heed
Unmindful of any risk and danger
You decided upon this lonely stranger

Rainbows, clouds, the deep blue sky
Glittering birds that fly on high
Out of fragments you've made my whole
From the elements you fashioned my soul
Mother dear, you gave me life
Because of you, no struggle or strife
You ave me joy and position
Cared for me without condition
And if I ever change this world
It's from the emotions you've unfurled
Your compassion is so sweet and dear
Your finest feelings I can hear
I can sense your faintest notion
The wondrous magic of your love potion

And now that I have come so far
Met with every kind and czar
Encountered every color and creed
Of every passion, every greed
I go back to that starry night
With not a fear for muscle or might
You taught me how to stand and fight
For every single wrong and right
Every day without a hold
I will treasure what you've mold
I will remember every kiss
Your sweet words I'll never miss
No matter where I go from here
You're in my heart, my mother dear.

~~~~Planet Earth~~~~

Planet Earth, my home, my place
a capricious anomaly in the sea of space

Planet Earth are you just

floating by, a cloud of dust

a minor globe, about to bust

a piece of metal bound to rust

a speck of matter in a mindless void

a lonely spaceship, a large asteroid

Cold as a rock without a hue
held together with a bit of glue

something tells me this isn't true

you are my sweetheart soft and blue

Do you care, have you a part

in the deepest emotions of my own heart

tender with breezes caressing and whole

alive with music, haunting my soul.


In my veins I've felt the mystery
of corridors of time, books of history

like songs of ages throbbing in my blood

have danced the rhythm of the tide and flood

your misty clouds, your electric storm
were turbulent tempests in my own form
I've licked the salt, the bitter, the sweet

of every encounter, of passion, of heat

your riotous color, your fragrance, your taste


in your beauty, I've known the how

of timeless bliss, this moment of now

Planet Earth are you just

floating by, a cloud of dust

a minor globe about to bust

a piece of metal bound to rust

a speck of matter, in a mindless void

a lonely spaceship, a large asteroid

cold as a rock without a hue

held together with a bit of glue

something tells me this isn't true

you are my sweetheart gentle and blue

do you care, have you a part

in the deepest emotions of my own heart

tender with breezes caressing and whole

alive with music, haunting my soul

Planet Earth, gentle and blue

with all my heart, I love you.
