"Shattered Spirit, Wounded Soul" A Poem by Charlene

Shattered Spirit, Wounded Soul

Magical child, you were a wonder

Unlike anything we ever knew

The plight of some to pull you under

Would be your cross to carry through

Ahead of your time, you tried to impart

The importance of love given from the heart

A sensitive soul, you were hurt to the core

Many would know only media lore

Their words made judgments, gave disrespect

Portrayed the image of a mere insect

Under their microscope for all to see

Distorted reality would be

The world’s truth, their understanding

Of one so mysterious, they would be slandering

The real man behind the mask?

Truth be told, nobody would ask

Shattered spirit, wounded soul

You took your leave, fled ‘cross the world

To lick your wounds and try to heal

Find some peace, something real

We carried on, kept track of you

Said some prayers for faith anew

Hoping you would come back home

Take another chance, no more to roam

You returned with vigor, your dream in sight

Your passion was stirred, kept you up at night

The final mission to instill your vision

In the hearts of millions

God’s call, your decision

An angel in sheep’s clothing, the real you hidden from view

The truth of your existence was revealed in June

Your death launched a phenomenon

An awakening of the world

Your heart and soul, your mission

Love and goodness unfurled

Your body of work immense

The glory of your life intense

Your messages all told

Of the things we must uphold

The time had come to make all feel one

In joy, in pain, in love, in service

Our consciousness connected, unity would come

Our hearts infected, to fulfill your purpose!

Shattered spirit no more

Wounded soul set free

God has welcomed you to the fore

Where you’ll be for all eternity
