Vision Splendid

It was just a glimpse I caught in the crowd
Not quite enough to fill the gap
Between recognition & deja vu
A momentary flicker of familiarity
A floating reminder . . .
Of someone I once knew . . .
A faded memory struggling for the light
There it is again . . .
No . . .
No, that can’t be right
How could that reflection
Give me such a fright . . .

    Love it!… I have had this happen, best I could describe it was a “chilly exhilaration”.

    probably de ja vu,or some kind of strange kind of synchronicity
    but most definately a splendid vision tho! amanda

    And suddenly, there we are…realizing that the others may have a different image of ourselves……or is it the real one?
    We are so many people…………… GP
