Reincarnation

People from another time, another place Seen but not seen; familiar face Silently, quickly, transformation Another time, another place, restoration Years and years ago, I had an inkling Soon a stronger vibe, became a twinkling Then suddenly aware, found myself in Limbo Watching all the world, as if through a window I saw growth of cities, many folks around me Calling out to them, hoping that they'd found me But my screams were silent, they didn't hear a sound Waste away in my state, never to be found Battered at my window, glass would not give way Tried to climb the walls, still was forced to stay Was I even human? Didn't really know Only something I remembered very long ago What will it take to free me? Waiting anxiously Feel my time is coming, amping up my plea Only takes some wishing, perhaps upon a star Can I make my descent now, coming from afar? Finding a new body, infant in their arms I will not let new life come to any harm I, so long forgotten, exist now once again I will always be here, as I've always been. I have now returned, I'm in the present Where I had come from, it wasn't pleasant Knowledge is within me, but not abused I remember everything but it can't be used
