Gentle Landscapes Setting Up Rhythms Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Reading time in rhythms as it matches tempos of the band,
playing arrangements that have meaning to many couples on
the dance floor.

Dancing beneath colored lights, watching one another, but
never missing a single step, whirling, twirling, having a
great time just being themselves.

Easy going, feeling soothed deep within their beings, want-
ing only musical atmospheres, finding liberty in the beauty
of life as it sorts gentle landscapes set up by rhythms.

Being left behind to keep us in motion, nothing like it,
keeps on coming in the evening, allowing everyone to reach
new heights tonight.
