Slivers of Laughter

By Gail DeBole Updated January 13, 2019 Thin shards of time spattered about Mis-wedged into spaces that add to our doubt. Echoes of time vex and puzzle our souls May overlap boundaries with science unknown. Slivers of a girl’s laughter with no girl around Sound disturbingly eerie and deeply profound.

This certainly makes me think of a haunted house, Gail; indeed eerie, though I suspect in this case we have a friendly ghost! ~ Best regards // paul

Paul, Thank you for your feedback. Yes, maybe a haunted house has some spaces stuck in other times? Something to think about... - Gail

Being a fan of History allows me some peace of mind as events unfold. Nothing is new. Just people doing the same old crap and hoping for a different outcome. Have a great day my friend.

Thanks for stopping by...agree that laughter is good medicine except that I am not so sure it is when in an eerie situation that cannot be rationally explained. Have a good day.
