Not again,
a stranger’s eyes
regard me in a mirror
that lies.
Once again,
I inhabit a body
not mine.
We are all one.
What tripe!
We don’t know that Truth
until the body is not ours
until now.
Not now!
My body, my life.
This body, another’s life.
I do remember
my life, my body.
But that was then,
this is now.

Thank you, Sue. We can feel our next lives calling, and the imprints of our past lives, but do these imaginings reflect the Truth? Be well in this moment, my friend.
