Reincarnate
~~~
I have been here before
Not a random déjà vu
A sense of being past
Rooted in something true
~~~
Ergo in time, now history
I trod an older path
Like mysteries of memories
That ancient shadows cast
~~~
Some life that lies behind me
Full lived until its time
Soul transcends the dying sea
To life of a different kind
~~~
And there reborn, in time new
I sense I know this place
I see my own humanity through
The same eyes on a different face
~~~

This speaks volumes to me. I suspect it becomes something that happens with age and the fact that mortality as closer than it’s ever been…
Thanks, sis! Age does offer a different perspective to the words.
Interesting…..
Thank you, Ed! Happy holidays to you and yours!
Same age age, different face – yes
Thanks Beth!
I LOVE this! That sense of familiar in something new seems to happen more frequently as we age. I think it’s because we have more experiences to compare things to. I think it also explains why time seems to fly more quickly as we age. Beautifully written, as always!
Thank you, Kristian! You are so very kind. Although, I will admit it seems odd to hear someone so young use the phrase “as we age”.
40 is on the horizon, Brad. Plus, I’ve been told my entire life that I am wise beyond my years.
Emotional and intellectual maturity does not count chronologically young lady!
and I hope you continue to have a full life moving forward…
Thank you, Jim! That is a thoughtful wish.
you are welcome, Brad…
A most interesting thought here. Haven’t we all been before?
It does make you wonder. Thank you, my friend!
Always a pleasure my friend!
Dearest Brad I love this poem it speaks to me.
“Some life that lies behind me
Full lived until its time
Soul transcends the dying sea
To life of a different kind”
We go through different stages of our life and I feel wiser and more centered than ever before. This poem talks to the stages of my life. Beautiful! Hoping your day is filled with sunshine 🌞. Love Jonikins
Thank you, Jonikins!
