Echoes of laughter ripple across vanished playgrounds
where time dances in unending loops of forget-me-nots
(do you remember?)


In an ancient forest behind the checkerboard hills,
the keeper of shadows held the keys to unwritten daydreams.
(did you know?)

Intangible tokens whisper in crownsbore mists
Knights bounce statically beneath shattered heavens

Write their riddles on paper leaves
buried 'neath snaggletooth boughs while
the wind chuckles in cryptic tongues.
(did you ask?)
