deja vu
As night descends upon this day
Darkness quickly taking over the light
I find myself again in that mood
Contemplating many reasons of why
Why do things change around me?
It often seems as if it happens too quickly
But in truth change reveals itself in slow motion
Our thinking is deceptive of it's true meaning
No wonder life sends us messages of deja vu
We cannot escape what occurs around us
When the days become shorter, memories are triggered
Our attention gets sharper as we cycle another change
As if we are trying to catch up
Maybe stop this feeling in it's tracks
But alas it is only life and we must move forward
I cannot continually hide in the past
With each change, each new season
I am carried further and further from the past
Precious memories become dimmer
I try to grasp them and hold on tightly
Then I stop and inhale deeply
Sweet, yes it carries a feeling of sweet freshness
And I remember his words as we walked
As if they were spoken only yesterday
Darling, I love this time of year
The air is crisp and fresh
My body feels alive, renewed, by the chill in the air
Come on dear, lets kick up some leaves as we walk
