And I Move

I hear the music,
and I move.

My hips sway.
My knees bend.
My feet slide and leap.
My arms go up in the air.
And my eyes close.

I feel the music
moving through me.
It leads my body to
new places,
new emotions.

Feel the flow.
Let the music flow,
and let my body flow with it.



Jingle Poetry Potluck Week of June 6
Inspired by Song

The prompt was meant more to be a poem written inspired by a memorable song, but what music most inspires in me is the desire to move.
