u have forgotten --
what remains
unresolved impels
you to locate me again
thru time and space
to settle a debt,
obtain a boon
or simply satisfy a desire

so we meet again
this time
(in) this new place
and exchange thoughts
easily and directly
u think it common,
think again?

u recognised my ability,
sensitivity
not realising that recognition
affirms u have the same ability
yet u failed to remember
that we knew each other
intimately
in a previous life
in that other place

you are Buddhist now
so it's natural to appreciate
the situation, tho here
in the occident
it is considered an oddity
a special talent,
a strange telepathy
conversing souls

it is time, this time
to resolve the issue,
unify bodies, mind
and soul

or would you hesitate,
delay again
and allow unrequited desire
to propel u into the next life
and take ur chances --
things may not be
as conducive as they are now

be mindful today
you know me,
recognise
with whom you
exchange thoughts so
easily --
remember,
make it plain
and savour resolution
completion
