Dear Friends,
On the 1 year anniversary of Michael’s death I would like to share with you a poem I co-wrote with him entitled “Planet Earth” which was published in his book “Dancing the Dream.” This poem is particularly prescient given the destruction of the eco-system.
Love,
Deepak
Planet Earth
Michael Jackson and Deepak Chopra
Originally published in “Dancing the Dream”
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
Life 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
Have thrilled my senses beyond all haste
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 blueWith all my heart, I love you.
It would have been great to hear Michael turn this poem into a song. Thanks for sharing this, Deepak.
Michael's physical presence will be missed. Thank Heaven his Spirit lives on in ALL!
A beautiful soul…that has made it's way home…thanks Deepak…
wow…hard to believe a year has passed this Jacko passed on…damn!
Working on the land
With my bare hands
Lets me feel
Something so real
In that moment of awareness
I feel the ultimate oneness
Of my body touching the ground
Of my being
Totally unbound
Totally belonging
To this circumference
Visible in the distance
Embracing me all around
And I clearly see
How everything is Me
Every movement in this bliss
Is giving a little kiss
To That what surrounds Me
Is Me
Inside……. Outside……….
Becoming flat
I realize…… a truth I always had……….
MJ was the best …. I miss him
Thank you for sharing this with us. I will miss Michael so very much, I have to believe he's still here somehow. He definitely lives on through his music and projects to help the world be a better place.
I Love You Michael ::))
Great poem! I love listening to Michael recite this, because he had such a gentle and calming speaking voice.
Thank you Dr Chopra and Michael Jackson

amazing, beautiful and pertinent. thank you Michael and Deepak.
Thanks for the poem but really that's what is left of Michael…
Michael Jackson was revealed to have earned over $1 billion since his death, mainly due to the explosive growth of his record sales.
Taking place at the Planet Hollywood casino in Las Vegas, the auction contained a total of ten items relating to Michael Jackson. The glove fetched $190,000 a price well above estimates created by experts.
The loafers Michael Jackson wore onstage during the same tour were also sold, fetching much more than previous estimates. The shoes had been expected to fetch between $2,000 (£1,328) and $3,000 (£1,990), but went for $90,000 (£59,764), reports ABC News.
A jacket worn by Michael Jackson was sold at the same auction, fetching $120,000 – far beyond the initial estimate, which suggested it would fetch between $6,000 (£3,984) and $8,000 (£5,312).
This is crazy!
