/pip/Forum7/HTML/000510.html (thanks Mike) The hour is late, I should be sleeping instead I sit here quietly weeping crying for a man I never knew yet remembered with a de ja vu It happened quite by chance this fate provoked happenstance…… walking through an antique store a place I’d been to many times before I started with my favorites milk jars of glass then I found old photographs thumbing through I saw his face lean, elegant so full of grace I couldn’t believe my own mind when the ‘memories’ I did find I knew his name I knew his life, you see before, I was his wife How could I know? How could this be? it’s just a picture looking back at me……. The shop owner asked, “Have you seen a ghost? He lived here, down by the coast.” I told her things I couldn’t know relayed stories of long ago I saw it then, in her eyes it was the truth No guesses No lies “We must somehow be related, us meeting somehow fated, for that man you clearly know was my great grandfather, Mitchell Joe” She seemed confused when I tired to explain the memories of another lifetime resurfacing again.... she didn't understand so I just let it be took the picture, home with me ~now the picture is hung upon my wall and tonight I cry for a man I recall ~SEA~ |

Susan, I hate fear. But this one I like. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Ooo, I love the twist of this. And that she knows of her past as well as this. Perhaps this is only the beginning lock to more keys? Awesome, Susan! |
