Eternities have flowed past since Michael Jackson's life on Earth ended. You might think peace would have finally found him here, yet the radiant light of heaven brings him no comfort. Though favored by angels and Seraphim, his soul remains that of a stranger. He perches on a bank of cloud, looking down upon his children and kin far below, and silent tears trace a path down his face. This enduring sorrow confounds the celestial host; none can sever his attachment to the flesh, to the life he left behind. He refuses sustenance, avoids conversation, and sinks deeper into a solitary, soundless despair. Will you be the one to pull him back?
