Soul Families

A lunchtime chat with thoughtful friend*;
Deep subjects came up for review
How mindfulness and daydreams lend
To jaded palettes colours new.

Our mind records what we don't see
Sometimes the shock is quite intense
We log this as telepathy
Or could it be - coincidence?

A new word learnt and it appears
On posters, book or magazine
We think of friend not seen for years
And there she is - on mobile screen!

So commonplace, yet have you thought
How souls inhabit other spheres
Beyond the reach of this world fraught
With pettiness and mundane cares?

«Old souls» may join us on our way
We all know «déjà vu» is strong
Reborn from past lives, back today
Post mortem singing a new song...

Soul families exist out there
On red alert they feel our pain
They understand us and they care
In subtle ways our minds they train ...

Brief insights then the curtain falls
As our busy lives do not allow
This «otherness» which so enthralls
To tear us from the here and now ...
