like a rainbow, fading in the twinkling of an eye
gone too soon (michael jackson)

oscar wilde once deliberated on how art imitates life. yet, what he did not realize is how life imitates art so well too. i found a wonderful song by michael jackson (no less, since he's the hype now) and truly, it foreshadows, albeit so beautifully, his colourful but short life - gone too soon.

i am not writing this because i am a big fan of his. in fact, i am anything but. i was just listening to his songs the other day because i want to find out what the MJcraze is all about; what i can say for sure is that i was certainly not disappointed.

but that is because i can see how deeply poetic his sad life is with the benefit of hindsight.

enjoy this song because i did, and feel absolutely touched by the lyrics and how it intertwines into the fleeting moments we encounter everyday.
