Hidden Memories The Regress

 
my tapestry of hidden memories
rise within me bringing back to memory past lives
a place of visions
a place where I can breathe

I regress into nothingness
to the void before time existed
like a space mermaid, I swim

echoing high and low seeking the others
swimming so deep into the abyss that I tire
I cover myself with the dark and anchor in to rest
waking from startling visions of what is to be

first, I was awake and aware I was
using sonar-like pings
I send them out on the waves in space
then wait to hear back from someone
I am sure they were out there just out of sight

I can't recall their faces
but I feel alone and lonely drifting
scouring the heavens for another like me

then I come from my haze
shake loose my mind
how I found myself out there again, I'm unsure

so, I calm myself and allow myself to come back to earth
where I have friends and family
an oddling of the universes, yes
grateful for my home here

a second chance
