What do you think this poem is about?

"Life's But a Walking Shadow"

Tales told by idiots
All bluster and show
Life's brief candle
Is all we will ever know
Nothing is everything
And everything nothing
Show me the playground
And proceed with the spinning
Let the play begin
And play begins anew
Let us be lovers again
Like the soft spring flowers when they grew
