A benighted arrival<\/p>\n
Mergence within a circle<\/p>\n
Congenial strangers<\/p>\n
With hands delivering cadence<\/p>\n
Quick attunement to one another<\/p>\n
And energy circulates within<\/p>\n
Individuals accent the collective<\/p>\n
Achieving a group consciousness<\/p>\n
United in action and mind<\/p>\n
Neither perfection nor pattern<\/p>\n
But influencing self-expression<\/p>\n
Resonating rhythmic bedlam<\/p>\n
Co-creation, improvisation changes the flow<\/p>\n
New direction emanates<\/p>\n
Pulsating felt deep into the soul<\/p>\n
Swaying with the music<\/p>\n
Therapeutic healing felt within<\/p>\n
A center spirit universally understood<\/p>\n
Here and now the only sensation<\/p>\n
Absorbing a plethoric experience<\/p>\n
No beginning or end<\/p>\n
Just preserving the dynamic groove.<\/p>\n
