A toddler sways or bounces to the beat

Not knowing steps or direction

 

An older person who seems to have withdrawn from the world

Will react to it and once again, briefly return

 

Some listen to get hyped up and move without thought

While the ballerina dances gracefully, the very movement of sound

 

A tool used to relax, drive, escape, and capture us

It is the essence of the movement as we exist

 

Here on the stage of our lives

May we always allow the music to speak to us

 

And remember to dance
