A Familiar Picture

Seeing you that first time
Was like looking at a picture
A familiar picture
A favourite, dog eared picture
Often viewed, often handled
A picture of someone special
But we had never met
Yet there you were
A familiar picture
A picture in my mind
In my heart, in my soul
A familiar stranger
Who recognizes me

A Moment of Recognition

A poem about an encounter between strangers which mixes feelings of deja vu with the rather less common jamais vu.
