Déjà Vu

Deja Vu

On the pages of my mind

I bring the past alive

A stroll down memory lane

To help treasured memories survive

Following forgotten footsteps

Through an open door

To a place so familiar

I’m inclined to restore

Trying to recall

The why, when and where

Just what lead up to

My being there

A memory just out of reach

Think, think, think

No matter how much I try

My brain out of sync

A memory so vague

I barely remember

Elusive details

I’m trying to render

Was it something I said

Or something I heard

Something there I’m certain

Something I value for sure

But what if

A memory of much more

Something else

Just beyond that door

Possibly in a previous life

A life I once knew

Prompting this feeling now of

Déjà vu
