A Mirage Of A Memory

Deja vu
A mirage of a memory
A not so distant history
A strange moment
Life is funny, isn’t it?
There’s an irony to it
I remember her from my past life
A dream in a dream in a dream
It seems
That these day dreams
Influence what I believe
And what I believe
Changes what I see
A memory of a memory of a memory
Of the man I used to be
The day
Or time
Or season
Or place
Fades
It shifts
It morphs
And blends together in the mind
Is today new?
Or is today deja vu?
Is it the same time and place
But just a different view?
Are you still even you?
She wasn’t even her
Just a doppelganger
Just a gut punch
Just a memory of a memory of a memory
Just a dream from a past life
Everything changes
Everything shifts
Everything repeats
The river runs swift
We never step into it
More than one time
We can never see the same person
Ever again
Because something within
Is pushing them
To change
And if we are living truly
We have changed too
Who are you?
Are you still the you that I knew?
I see . . .
