Play It Again…
a song a film a game
plays over again again again…
a feeling of deja vu…
here we’ve done it again
with ifs and wishes and dreams…
it all seems so familiar
your clothes your face your hair
have we done it all before
it feels like we’ve been
playing out another version
of a story lived before…
you see me and i see you
a dance of time in repetition
same rhythms same pace
moving through space and place
yet open to free will choice
moving in differently directions
moving together again…
have we done this before
how do i seem to know you
i’ve always loved your…
but you’ve never seen it before…
many open potential-portals
many entrance and exit points…
someone i’d like you to meet…
do you move forward or retreat
oh- perhaps another time…
or- will i see you again
it all depends… how do you feel
please don’t take that…
i have a feeling you say…
or- why don’t we take a chance
i have a good feeling i say…
a song a film a game a life
shall we play it over again
shall we add a few revisions
to words to dids and didn’ts
perhaps cut and redo it again…
