There are times in my present
In present years
I feel moments of vivid memories
Of places
Roads
Mainly paths I walked on when young.
There are flashes of memory like I am THERE
My consciousness floating along with someone ON that path.
Sometimes I remember how so long ago
Walking
Running
Riding a bike on a road
A path
Some place
I felt my hair rising up with fear
Bewilderment
Of some … Presence with me
A Ghost perhaps but…
What ghost?
WHOSE ghost?
Walking some path with me
Matching me step by step
Breathing in my lungs with me
Silent in my thoughts
Feeling my heart beat
And I … trying to feel a Mind Beat in that Presence beside me
Behind me
Trying to be Inside me.
Looking back now I understand who and what that ghost was with me so long ago
That Mind Beat sent back feel a heart beat of youth
That mutual bewilderment as THIS mind,
Remembering some past random moment
In some past random place
Connected with that younger self
Walking
Plodding
Running and flying along…
At first frightened then that odd sense of familiarity
And familiarity to come
A fond welcoming…
Oh self In time…
I am with you
I was with you
There was no god
No devil no … ghost…
It was only I
You
Unstuck in time
A mind beat reaching back
Caressing a youthful heart beat in Our time.
