Bringing the Music Back to Miss Helen   7/7/12

As I put the earbuds

gently in place

the flaccid spirit surges …

first in surprise,

then in delight.

Hearing the music,

nothing could stop the dance.

From chair to chair

we clasp hands and move

as we always did …

two as one … one to the beat.

Others watch, even applaud …

They enjoy the spectacle as 

we dance and dance and dance

until time runs out and I promise

to be back for more …  soon.
