Lyrics That Were Once Just Words Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Rocking and coming alive in music of a band, feeling joy coming
from within rhythms, taking away stress and problems of the day.
giving needed relief.

Mind and intellect following pathways down literate avenues that
open themselves through melodies and harmonies with ulterior pur-
poses in mind and heart.

Opening wave lengths in this evening's performance as beginnings
and endings become a story of life in it's lyrics that were once
just words on musical sheets of paper, now they've come alive and
are intense, filling people's minds who are now listening intently together.
