Being Awakened Intellectually Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Racing into the afternoon, taking rides on every beat of
rhythm, feeling them intensely beneath me, feeling an
effervescent sense of brilliance continuing to engulf me.

Touching interior feelings emotionally, always being awak-
ened intellectually by musical rhythms, loving how they
energize and take me soaring with them.

A total feeling of freedom and liberty encircling my being
all the time while listening to it beating incessantly into
my mind at the very first sound of notes filling rhythms.
a leisurely and pleasant sense of caring coming from within
my soul.
