I think many can relate to this. Many years ago I was at a department store. I spotted a familiar looking gal walking 50 feet in front of me. Having being accustomed to seeing that "view" in the past I was about 98% sure it was one of my long term ex-lovers. I stopped and almost panicked. There was no reason to walk any further. I left. This happened 25 years ago and yet it seems like yesterday. Great poem Teresa.
Steven , your timing is, as always, impeccable ... odd, isn't it, how time can appear so fluid ... Thank you, Steven. I trust you're staying warm in the big city ... :)
The genre is "Electronica" fairly new to me and I very much like a lot of it. Trance like at times and so peaceful. I like to have this playing in the back round. I found Lemon Jelly on songza.com where there are plenty of variations of Electronica. And it's free.
Loved this. Especially the surprise. I was not expecting that. Just wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bill ... :)

DeletePerfect. And I do think lots of us have experienced this, or a version of it.
ReplyDeleteYes, there is a universality to it ... our memories are really all so similar ...
DeleteWhen I saw this the first thing that came to mind was this.
