Analysis of Déjà Vu
On the pages of my mind
I bring the past alive
A stroll down memory lane
To help treasured memories survive
Following forgotten footsteps
Through an open door
To a place so familiar
I’m inclined to restore
Trying to recall
The why, when and where
Just what lead up to
My being there
A memory just out of reach
Think, think, think
No matter how much I try
My brain out of sync
A memory so vague
I barely remember
Elusive details
I’m trying to render
Was it something I said
Or something I heard
Something there I’m certain
Something I value for sure
But what if
A memory of much more
Something else
Just beyond that door
Possibly in a previous life
A life I once knew
Prompting this feeling now of
Déjà vu
