Deja Vu

a slip through time 
      of that already known 
      
when a sudden prompt from the unconscious
       to the conscious 
of a memory from a past or future life
replays in the present 

a deep feeling of familiarity floods the body 
a sense of wonder and awe 
       of the complex interweaving lives 
planned by the soul in order to grow 

and this life - your life
     is a part of that plan

This is very well conceived and written, Julie. Would not surprise me to see it on the winners board.
