Wiggle and Wave



Intuitive dance steps may fade as decades flow on, yet the toddler wiggle and wave
to music of much earlier decades remains waiting to be 
energized with abandon.

The desire to waltz gracefully like Ginger Rogers 
to double-tap, tap and spin like Eleanor Powell,
to shake and rattle maracas to rhythmic calypso beat
to sway into soft jazz in a darkened dance hall
all springs to life when the music begins
a service to the joy of my soul.

Intuitive dance steps into my home to
wiggle and wave like a songbird in the shower.
Slippered feet slide carefully on tile or carpet
spinning in slow circles in music’s time
with eyes closed, a smile on my face and music in my heart

“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane.”
~ attributed to Friedrich Nietzsche
