Past Lives

Atlantis

A long ago civilization

For most just a myth

Or wonderful fantasy

But not for me

For me

It was home

My very first home

On my very first life

Some believe in multiple lives

Old souls

Reincarnation

My first life

First home

Origin of me

Was Atlantis

A majestic island

With massive stone walls

All around

They seemed to be made

Out of gold

The people

Within these walls

Were happy

Free

From oppression

Tyranny

The nobles treated

The lower class

With respect

There were often

Great feasts

And parties

I was a young girl

Barely an adult

Under 25

I was of noble standing

And I was in love

My family

Both parents

With daughters

My sister was older

Already married

Now it was my turn

Being in love

Felt like floating

I would often

Stand by the water

Watching the ships

Come in from sea

For he

Was on one of those ships

He was a captain

Even at such young age

His ship had blue sails

Because it reminded him

Of my eyes

My eyes were blue

To match the long straight black hair

He said I was beautiful

I always blushed

When he spoke

Of how many children

We were to have

I was very shy, you see
