knowing before you even see it
believing before you think
some things
embedded in my mind
have i been here before
or did i pay attention to the dreams
have i known you before
i recognise this place
though i know i've never been
you've said that before
in the exact time and place
i knew i shouldnt have gone
that voice told me in my brain
we dont listen enough
to what we already know
we dismiss and discard it
as fokelore and pretend
though i'm not sure how you open it
when you hear the faintest whisper
strain your ear
and listen on
far from insane
knowledge
that never fails to prove you wrong
until you give it recognition
natural
unseen
socialized to ignore it
life saving
life changing gift
of listening to soul
to self
to intuition.

learning each day, for you and i, our paths have met, i've already learnt that you are love.

self intuition... an interesting thought here and we do tend to ignore those "gut" feelings we have, shake off the coincidences...
I enjoyed

I find I do much better if I do question my instincts.  Nice read.

I doubt everything, I guess. Good poem here. Made me think.
