Groove Of A New Sound Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Forming creative possibilities, taking them into lines
of advanced rhythms.

Special movements making us go to the left and right,
walking alone, taking steps needed to become agile and
vibrant in senior life.

Not resisting urgent and believable steps of an enlivening
rhythm, beginning and ending in depths of a song, filled
with laughter, joy and smiles.

Noticing treasures being taken out and kept close as
everyone dances across the floor, doing the two bit shuffle.

Letting down all barriers and defenses as they move into
the groove of a lasting brand new sound.
