Your poem gave me the opportunity to re-experience some wonderful, and some frightening, deja-vu moments. Poetry for me has always been therapeutic and your poem has added a new dimension. Thank you!

Thank you sincerely, Poet Richard Wlodarski. As I said, this uncanny sensation, 'I have been here before', has been researched by savants and psychologists. It may be related to our brain cells which store memories and impressions. Internet has many leads to other phenomena of this kind. The reaction of being scared is also known, apparently; but good old realism and common-sense restore our usual attitude to life and context. May I suggest that you could look up in PH a poem by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Sudden Light, which is a loving romantic expression of the poet remembering his fiancee. He was the brother of Christina Rossetti, and a painter of the pre-Raphaelite genre. Best wishes and thanks, AM
