Life Is Like a Maypole

Life Is Like A Maypole. In our spring, we are born; our dance begins as inter-woven events and experiences build our future. Blood-red trauma, wraps itself around our happiest moments… it never wins. Always uplifted by orange-joys, winding ribbons, we heal a bit. Intermingling emotions are etheric ribbons; round and round, they twine. Once we are completely enveloped; developed by life’s dance; the grey’s of middle-age decline, begins to unravel; reversing our celebration until, death’s icy grip ads its finishing touch. A soul is born; in growing, learns and passes into another existence… re-incarnating for another dance.

Your title lends itself to further comparisons, which you have done, and with skill I will add.
