From bloody birth to funeral pyre
Our lives are lived of dance,
Struggle, denial. and desire
The balance of a life so hard to measure
To live for the future, or now for pleasure
Legacy of life's branches, and eddys
Intertwined limbs, unstable or steady
We pay, and only may take our chance
To stumble, stride, or gracefully dance
