In all the lifetime's I've had
and many more to come
I’ve been here before
I know you may think I'm mad?
I will take it as a great compliment
especially, once you have heard me out...
you see I've been here before
In a different life
maybe I was a fish?
I've always had a strange feeling around the ocean
maybe I was taken in a swirl of waves
into the belly of a magical whale?
maybe I was a magnificent Italian queen?
in the city of Naples, I surely feel at home
gazing up at Vesuvius
on a summer's night from my terrace
whilst tasting the southern wines in hand
and maybe once I was even an astronaut
who traveled to infinity?
I certainly have a passionate love for the moon
I may have been a carpenter
after all, I simply adore the finishes of a grand piece of wood
especially a piano
what if I was a great Jazz singer?
I love to sing the blues?
maybe I was a damsel in distress?
on the horse of a true hero
under the Casentino forest?
all those trees hovering over me
haunt my dreams even when I walk under them today
I could have been a French chef?
spreading my joy for butter
on to authentic plates under the Eiffel tower
I have such a passion for the croissant
I often ponder on why I feel the way I do
in certain places? in certain moments?
some would even call it déjà vu
all I can do is smile
because...
I know in my heart
I've probably been here before.

I can relate. Great work, sweet Teddy.
Ah 🤣 maybe we met inside the whale? 🌹
Similar feelings I have had for I feel a part of all nature and all time. A wonderful poem of the continuity of time and space and one's place in it yesterday, today and tomorrow, which are really all the same. Very nice Teddy I very much enjoyed this one.
Thank you my dear sorrenbarret, it's all relative, so are the faces and characters, I've lived in two countries much like you, I've met exactly the same people in both. 🌹
Could be. Time will tell, but will you remember? 🤷♂️ I have had this feeling, dear Teddy. I have been to places for the first time and felt that I had always been there. Strange feeling, for sure...and it does make one wonder. Excellent, grounded, and spiritual poem. Another must fave! 🌹👏
Isn't it strange sometimes I'm in a place that I've never been and yet it's completely familiar. Thank you once again 🌹
It is completely strange, but kind of cool too. I hope you are enjoying yourself! You are most welcome, Teddy!
Such true words Teddy, we certainly must have been together either cooking fine meals or playing wonderful music. See you in the next lifetime.
