Spirits at Play!

In the ether empty echoes 
of children's laughter
Ghosts and shadows
of another place and time
playing blissfully in the
reflections of a Universes
fluid time line
Parallel mystic energy
blessed in oblivious naivity
Forever at joy and play

A song eerily settles on
a detached history breeze 
evoking nostalgic recall
sensing a reality ill at ease

Faint childish singing
"Ring a Ring a Roses"
holding hands and skipping
"A Pocket full of Poses"
'Black Death' wears the crown
"Atishoo!  Atishoo! "
they all fall down
