This is for the latest contest entitled Dance of Life which you can find here [link]

The title Dance of Life made me think about everyone on the planet, all of us seperately playing out our lives, striving to succeed in achieving our goals and aspirations, yearning for our dreams to come true.

Then I looked around me at all the elderly people who, sometimes it seems to me, merely exist as ghosts trying to fit into our modern world and feeling somewhat swept away. I think as young people confident in our environments, we can often forget that the elderly were once young like us, playing out their lives with passion beating through their souls and their dreams shining brightly infront of them. We will all in our unique ways choreograph our own Dance of Life each and every one of us. And then one day we will be just like them: clearing the stage for the next generation to do it all over again.

The cyclic, eternal Dance that never ends.
