Deja vu-
   it startles us at times-
       in a flash- coming before us;
          a conversation
               an interaction
almost anything-
   exact in every detail
       as we lived it before. 
          We are mesmerized,
asking ourselves-
   how does this happen?

All is saved in The Gallery of Life.

There are four walls in 
   Four-Dimensional Space-Time.
      Like a gallery, they safeguard 
         our beginning to end
with images from our
       birth, 
         childhood, 
              adulthood 
                   and death,
saved from every second
   of our life in this Universe.
      The gallery of our life
         in the gallery of time;
            in the space-time continuum,
forever and ever in
    Four-Dimensional Space-Time-

Where somehow- seconds escape
   to wake our memories- 
       in real-time.
