James Fraser Poet Rhyme

" Been Here Before "

My father to me when i was young
What you tell me must have been fun

It was more than that
I was actually there
My first see
A Plesiosaur

Swimming in pods
A family of three
New to my world
Fancy free

I slept for a while
Nature asked me back
A ***** man
From the Nile track

Herding camels to freight the blocks
The tomb of Ra
Blocks en-locked
Future builders shocked

Fishing on Unst, in the distance i view
Longboats, Vikings - marauders of new
Norway from, Shetlands they land
Rape, pillage - i don't understand

Eyes closed, for another day
Centuries of slumber, stirred again
What awaits me as i live today
Happenings, wait I'll say

Guns shooting, from over the hill
Buffalo, my animals spill
White man taken down
To the Indian invisible sound
Arrows fired from the horse
Like axe in the Shetlands, by the Norse

Deep sleep falling
I must be dying
Being eternal
So so tiring

Beep, Beep, - Beep, Beep
Alarm clock's going
I'm up again, in a different life
Married, 4 kids and a wife

But for tomorrow
I can not say
Where I'll be, it's another day
But my memories are from the past
So many places, so many asks
As i grow to love this world i adore
I,m so lucky
I have " Been here before "

Carolyn Devonshire May 15, 2009 at 4:53 PM I got chills reading the last line, James. There are so many things that cannot satisfactorily be explained without entertaining the premise of reincarnation. I feel certain we have all "Been here before." A truly remarkable write! Love, Carolyn
