Deja vu

I was surprised...
Shocked might be a better expression
Well, was it happening
Or was it a dream come true

I walked down the beach
And stood silent
With the waves lapping my feet
And the horizon shrouded in mystical light

I could sense it, the exhilaration
It was not simple surrender to the beauty
Nor any sense of fear at the totality
It was altogether different

The feeling... of having been there,
Someday, but some other time,
A sense of time illuminated,
A whiff of the past, and beyond...

The skies above lighting up
Yet, they turned a shade darker,
And I stood wide eyed
As I remembered I knew,

It wasn't new to me...
This place,
It was a revelation
And I smiled at myself,
And at the complete peace inside....
