She counted, 
and waited, 
for the first stars. 
As dusk prevailed, 
here comes, 
the dark. 
  
Lucid 
dreamers, 
putrid corpses. 
chanting, 
around white 
roses. 
As sunset closes, 
the moonlight 
imposes. 
  
A petal 
for each, 
dispersing 
in the air. 
Rotting flesh, 
torn clothes, 
ran amok 
every where. 
  
Her voice 
resonated hymns. 
Which she sang, 
out loud. 
Hypnotically 
psychotic, 
mesmerizing 
sounds. 
  
Murmurs and 
giggles, 
ghost children 
out of graves. 
Ungrounded, 
and released 
in the dark 
to play. 
  
There's a ring 
around the roses, 
and she's in the 
middle. 
Making spirits 
dance 
in trance-like 
rhythm. 
  
Oh so pretty, 
oh so bright, 
they played hide 
and seek, 
deep into the 
night. 
  
What a nuisance 
is time, 
when she finally has 
fun. 
It went to quickly, 
daylight's peeking, 
here comes dawn. 
  
She counted, 
waited, 
for the last stars. 
With one last 
giggle, 
she awaits, 
the next night's 
dark.
