Majikbird 
New Age Chat Roomie 4/97 thru eternity. Passed on Sept. 8,1999
Weak
My time is near, my body's weak
The peace of death is what I seek
If the time is truly right
and I should pass during the night
I ask of all I knew in this life
When at last I've ended the strife
Place my body in an oaken box
With nothing on my feet... but woolen socks
Go deep into the woods and I ask of thee
Place my tired body beneath a tall oak tree
Where I can rejuvenate and come back strong
For just one more chance to right all my wrong
And I'll give back to living things
All the things that happiness brings
I have no favors of anyone to ask
I'm just too tired to continue this task
Do not cry or mourn my death
For soon I'll have fresh new breath
Just put me back from whence I came
And in the next life I can retry living the game

" Blame it On the Weatherman"
song by: B*Witched
It's just one more day.
No one said
there would be rain again.
Won't blame it on myself
I'll blame it on the weatherman.
Get away for awhile.
Here I am out on my own again
Won't blame it on myself.
I'll blame it on the weatherman.
Standing on the shore
Calling out your name
I was here before
I could see your face
Only clouds will see
Tears are in my eyes
Empty like my heart
Why do ya say goodbye
The rain goes on (on and on again)
Alone I can hear
Hear our song
Playing for me again
Wont blame it on myself
Just blame it on the weatherman
Standing on the shore
Calling out your name
I was here before
I could see your face
Only clouds will see
Tears are in my eyes
Empty like my heart
Why do ya say goodbye
The rain goes on (on and on again)
Maybe it's too late
Maybe it's too late to try again
Maybe I can't pray
Maybe I can't wait
Maybe I can't blame it on the weatherman
The rain goes on (on and on again)
Oh blame it on the weatherman
That song, so far, has been the only thing that expresses how I feel. Majik and I didn't get along very well. A couple of weeks ago, I was considering going over to his house, and making my peace with him. I didn't do it. I hesitated. Now, I won't have the chance to do it again. Thank you, once again, for showing your love and friendship. It has meant alot to the family.
Thank you,
Jimmy / Majikbird's Grandson ( WayaTali1 )
Majikbird, a kind, wonderful,
gentle soul.
please he would ask, do not mourn me,
do not cry for me.
laugh with me and be happy for me,
for I am now in a far better land.
for the raven shall fly, and the majik of the black bird
shall once again look over you.

I will miss talking to you. You were a good friend and I am glad I
had a chance to meet with you. You were my protector of the night. I
will look for you in dreams for you will always be, still watching over
my nights.
You are a good friend
Your friend always

I met Maj when I first came online and started a mail list for jokes. He made me think he was a youngster, and would send thank yous in the form of "Thanks for the emails, you are just too KEWL!" At one point I cut him off thinking he was too young for some of the jokes, and he begged to be put back on the list. LOL, I was so dissed when I found out months later he had grey hair! But he never stopped sending those emails or IMs every couple months for the next 2 yrs.....
Till now ;'( Sno

To Majik
I had a dream 'bout a black Harley
with Raven Wings,
flying free.
Said the Harley to me,
"I am fine do not weep for me,
for I am free and
happy as can be."
So I am trying me best
to see him having fun in his rest
and not cry over dat

To Majikbird's Family:
There was a joy for living in this man's soul...he reached out with understanding and love...and where he shall be now, he will do the same, fill the heavens with
the beauty of laughter and joy...I shall miss Jack immensely, as i am certain the entire room shall...Majikbird greeted me with silly wavs which made me smile...
He was loved by me and many:: please find below my dedication to a friend
Autumn
It wafts gracefully in the wind
bringing air to human kind
It gleams gloriously in the sun
Until its life is done
It's texture, opulescent, all aglow
Blood-red veins to show
its splendour as a decoy
the razor rays its joy
Swaying gently as it falls
Obeying destiny as it calls
Then...lands quietly in relief....
............................a leaf
Thusly, mortality will run it's course
And there is no reason for remorse
When the soul begins its run
to follow the sun......... follow the sun
To delight angels, thereafter...
hear their joy, hear their laughter?
You've stretched beyond this tiny world
Goodbye, oh precious Majikbird

It is with a most sadden heart that many of us deal with the loss of a great friend from New Age...Jack was a very special friend to me we grew to know each other online and he was an inspiration in helping me to recieve and enjoy the energy of hugging trees!!! Although it was something I often did Jack helped in guiding me to feeling the real energy of the tree within me...
We often spoke of nature since I am a florist Jack often asked me many questions regarding my feelings of energy and sharing with him the experiences that I had with "seeing" their energy flow...there are many that would laugh at me hugging a tree but Jack embraced my love for God's miracles of nature...and on another note when upset in New Age one day that I actually left the room in tears Jack followed me in an IM to help calm me down for that I am so very grateful...his compassion and kindness will sorely be missed.
Love and Light

The greatest pain in life
is not to die,
but to be ignored.
To lose the person you love so much
to another who doesn't care at all.
To have someone you care so about so much
throw a party...
and not tell you about it.
When your favorite person on earth
neglects to invite you to his graduation.
To have people think that you don't care.
The greatest pain in life,
is not to die,
but to be forgotten.
To be left in the dust after another's great achievement.
To never get a call from a friend,
just saying "hi".
When you show someone your innermost thoughts
and they laugh in your face.
For friends to always be
too busy to console you
when you need someone to lift your spirits.
When it seems like the only person who cares about you,
is you.
Life is full of pain,
but does it ever get better?
Will people ever care about each other,
and make time for those who are in need?
Each of us has a part to play
in this great show we call life.
Each of us has a duty to mankind
to tell our friends we love them.
If you do not care about your friends
you will not be pusinshed.
You will simply be ignored...
forgotten...
as you have done to others.
May we always tell our loved ones, our friends how much they mean to us as we never know when could be the last time .. Bless this family and all his friends and may God confort them at this time of need ! This poem just came to me tonight as I was reading about our friend and it seemed so right for me to share . God Bless !

Magikbird,
I knew you for a short time only,
but you certainly touched my heart.

Gone...
but not forgotten.
Friends like you...
don't come round often.
Love your laugh
and your silly jokes.
Even if your cigars
give me the chokes.
I didn't know you...
nearly long enough.
Gettin through this
is gonna be tough.
I know you wouldn't
want me to cry...
But I can't help but stop
to wonder why?
Should I be happy...
you are gone?
Cuz I'm not.
Well that's it, I love him. He's my bud...I don't even know how to express the way I feel right now...I miss him and always will... Angie

Look all about us and know that we are never alone all those we love and care about still ride with us on the winds and in the change of every season and in the all of all.
Remain safe and well my friends and know now in this time and all others that my heart beats with yours. HAWKSBL00D.

This wonderful man was always so kind in asking for more of my poetry for his page. It seemed only fitting for me to honor him in the only way I know how. He IS truly a dear friend, and I thank God to have met and known him. Diana ( Poet563 )
Raven Jack
A smile and a hug
Wonderful breath of fresh air
Different than most
You could tell he really cared
Loving and kind
A listening ear when needed
Lifting me up
When life left me feeling defeated
A true friend
While others let you down
Opening your eyes
Putting your feet back on the ground
So Raven shall forever fly
Soaring always in my heart and mind
Until that time of reunion
When again each other we shall find
By Diana ( Poet563 )

It is indeed a soulful day for the friends and loved ones who live the legacy that Jack left behind. He was a dear, sweet and gentle man and I for one, was truly honored to have experienced his Spirit, Kindness and Lust for life. May the feather of his memory, remain among my collection of precious wings of wisdom, and call to me on the wind to ever echo his Grace and Splendor..........Love Foxy ( FoxesTruth )

I sit here at this keyboard trying to come up with the words to say how much I loved Jack and how I will miss him and the only things I know for sure in my heart is that the world is not a better place this day.... But that where he has gone is. I have know Jack for about 4 yrs and we spent many an hour in my private room talking he got me thru my eye surgery, my first stroke and this last one also. He had a heart that will sore as the Majikbird watching over us all.

Like the Beach glass
your shining still remains
still shimmers in the oceans pool
only to have remains of once ruff edges
now polished smooth.
A new diamond in the waters
playing like an ancient dance
cast in a new days dawning
sand washed from your footsteps.....
Carried to a shore
a memory still ebs and flows
under my footprints once you stood ....
In loving memory ,,from Deb 4 US" ...( DMorris4US )

My tears couldn't help but flow when I heard Majikbird, one of my dearest friends had passed on. I hope he will forgive me for the tears shed, we know they are for myself because I will miss him. And they are for the sorrow and loss his friends and family is feeling. We didn't chat a whole lot, but when we did the chats ran deeper than typed words. He often made me laugh with his light-hearted outlook on life; though I could feel the common struggle. I always felt of Majikbird as one of my brothers. We both, admitting of grey hair and temporary bodies, had one special thing that we loved to brag about and share- - - the joy of "Grandparent-hood". Get two grandparents together and there is just no hope for the ceasing of the BRAGGING that goes on. And we always loved every minute of it !!! By Golly !!!
I sit at this keyboard wishing I could IM him one more time, just to tell him,
"I will miss you."
Even now, he is giving to me, for I realize he isn't gone, but he's simply passed through to a place I will too. What peace this brings to my soul, knowing my Spirit Brother will meet me again some day with his same gentle smile-feel and humor that has strengthened my faith in eternal existence.
HugZ Majikbird !!!

Dear Majik,
Your love of life will resonate in my heart for eternity. You were a special kind of devotee, devoted to truth and love and laughter --- the gifts of the human Spirit.
I will miss you dear Jack. Thank you for all that you gave to us.

I wasn't supposed to, but I cried. I will sorely miss my friend Jack. He made me smile and laugh. His spirit of laughter was most infectious and I knew everytime that we 'talked' or that I recieved an email that I was in for a smile. Just the other day I sent Jack an email, because of some readings and a discussion in my Folklore class, to ask him what his favorite fairy tale had been when he was a child. Imagine this, it was Jack in the Beanstalk. Even now as I write this and fight back the tears that still want to come, I have to think of my sweet friend Jack climbing up that beanstalk, maybe when he gets to the top he will spread his wings and fly.
Goodbye Jack, I love you and I will miss you.

Sad to hear about his death, even though I did not know him well but listen to him on the chat, and respected and admire him,
May the Blessing Be

Dearest Friends ~
This day my heart ached for the passing of My Friend ~ Majikbird. Our Story . . .
He always called me Beautiful Willow, which touched my heart. I always sent him Hugs in our Springfield Chat room. I own and run a Day Care, so he always asked me about the children. He used to tease me about bringing them all to his work, to visit. And i promised him one day i would . . . and i promised him i would bring him Homemade Muffins, sigh.
I am Irish and Indian, so i know that is why our Spirits touched. I asked him for a favor once, i could not find a certain Web site i was looking for. And he had it . . . the only request he asked in return, was that i keep his name upon my buddy list and open up my IM's so he could say Hello when i was on (I keep everyone blocked, execpt a few). So, i honored his request . . . it made him so happy. He always, and i mean, always, took the time to visit . . . He welcomed everyone in the room. He told me about the Grandchildren . . . which made him shine . . . i realize how much i miss him. We touched in Spirit, but not in Body. I only layed eyes upon his picture, as he did mine. i shall miss him calling me Beautiful Willow . . . and i shall miss calling him my Handsome Bird. God bless . . . And Majikbird . . . someday we will meet . . . Always, Willow ( Willow1029 )

As I sit here in front of my keyboard, preparing to put this page on my pages for the people like me who didn't find out until much later (it's December 1 now), I keep thinking about what we've all lost. In my case, it was a man who made me feel wanted when nobody seemed to want me. He made me feel like one of the most beautiful women in the world, even though I never even really considered myself pretty. Everytime I needed a smile, he was online to give it to me, and to talk to. I remember when he found out about his great-grandbaby - he was so exited, he yelled in an IM to me... lol. I figure I have only two ways to repay him for all he's given me - 1) to make sure this page is available for anyone who still needs it or hasn't seen it, and 2) to pass on the same things he did for me to someone who needs it as much as I did. I know I haven't been around the chat room for a while, due to severe loss of interest in doing anything, but it wasn't the people I lost interest in.
Jack, I will never forget you. I can't express my love and gratitude enough. I will miss you.
