Un-SaveWisps of Life
From the moment they are born, they dance.
They arise gracefully from the crepuscular depths. Their lives are as brief and as fragile as a flame in the wind, but they waltz leisurely. The sorrow from knowing that it has to end weighs them down, but their light souls lift them higher and higher. They dance to their little hearts content, because it's all they know. They are one generation. No parents, no children. They linger in the air as they slow down and simply sway slowly and smoothly through the air.
From the moment they are born, they dance, because it’s all they can do. They linger in the air, as they take their final steps, gently fading and dissipating, these wisps, at first so full of life despite it all, then sigh silently in content and disappear into thin air.
Their fragile lives must be cherished. A hand may try to tear them apart, but they simply dance, more fiercely and passionately than ever. Eventually, they slow down once they’re out of danger and out of time. These wisps are so wise, treasuring life, enjoying it whilst they can, lingering at their end to savour their last moments.
From the moment they are born, they dance, because they don’t have time for anything else. And they never will.

Haha, this is pretty interesting, although a short drabble.
It seems deep, and to me, the message is to just treasure life, really ^.^
