As If I could state, so many lives ago, I knew, you as if I actually believed, or had an ounce of faith, it was true. To live in a past, before we were born To live another life, in time, in space, or in another form To return here and now, to this place, at this moment by some coincidental, reincarnated state. I am walking through life, as destiny my guide driven by, fate: to suddenly see in this whole wide world, a familiar face. As If, I knew deep in those eyes, I knew I had never seen before where a friend I had lost; or a love I had gained did inhabit the life, of this familiar stranger. Though I was about to proclaim so boldly, out on a limb, I will exclaim! This I do not believe, beyond a shadow of doubt in any whimsical happenstance, random by chance occurring series of events, actually taking place. Thus in my book I can not accept such mere coincidence. Yet I refuse to sit here writing these words for myself while trying to explain to you the reader reading for some deeper meaning, when we all know full well any good deed is a selfish act. Am I some prophet, with an ancient soul, who understands love? life and wisdom of old. Like I am able to impart, from depths of my soul to you, any fraction of truth. As if, I knew reason of reason Would that I could pretend, to know and preach some mystical chant, from out of those eons, we all lived in the past that might help you or me, or any other person for that matter gain even the most miniscule enlightened, glimpse of truth. so that we might begin to possibly understand who is that “I am”. As if So just maybe this is about, what may or may not have been all wrapped up in, a past that may or may not exist I accept fate is, fate, and hold pretence of the simple fact, which is: As if, I knew I need not be concerned, with that, I know you or you know I notion from some other past life, but here and nowis a plain fact; it is unavoidable, inescapable, firmly grounded in truth and because we are present, in this here and now, I can claim it has been destined. Then it will be fate that will determine, from now into the future. As if, I actually knew wpwpoet050303© |

It's a very good poem and heartfelt and to be honest it makes you think a little. Fon't you think? Sometimes you can't change what's going to happen but you can change how you percieve it. |
