Augury

Have you ever dreamed of your future?

Coming in flashes that move quickly
Deja vu is what I thought hit me
But in fact, I've been living a dream
I can't say it's been a grand thing
Entirely it is though, it must be
The presage that lies within me.

Events in my life have been unfolding
I have seen them before in a cognitive holding
Life, previously, was just passing by
Now particular moments prompt me to ask, why?
How did I know this was coming?
A scene in my retina has my mind humming.

Dizzy and dazzled; I calmy drink from a cup
Knowing what is next, waiting for it to show up
I smile into faces
Put on my shoes, tie up the laces
I pace through the day, at the end, I feel blessed
To know this life and play out the rest.
