&quot;Try to learn to breathe deeply,<br /> really to taste food when you eat,<br /> and when you sleep, really to sleep.<br /> Try as much as possible to be<br /> wholly alive, with all your might,<br /> and when you laugh, laugh like hell,<br /> and when you get angry, get good<br /> and angry. Try to be alive. You will<br /> be dead soon enough.&quot;<br /> William Saroyan

Tumbling, laughing, dancing down a crumbling staircase.
She doesn't stop for anyone.
Around her, seasons change. Darkness grows. Terror rises.
But she dances on, unfazed, unashamed.
She smiles a little and continues
Twirling and falling, jumping and  beaming,
She doesn't care. 
Her jealous beauty is untouched
As is her heart.
