music

lets do it
groove
lets move it
sway
dance all over
shake
rock them hips
boogie
make it last all night 
sing
feel the rhythm
jive
sing your heart out 
shout 

sing along to songs 
that one day will
illicit long ago memories
of youth of happiness of freedom 
of back then
when we feel now would be far away

words would hit us to the core
beats would pump us up for sure
bringing in a party mood 
that makes today a bore 
time to remember how we were lost in the here and now 
but not there 

years have passed 
records rarely get played
cassettes seem so ancient and pure 
in an instant
just to press a button 
history and memories come back
oddly you feel the same as on that first listening 
only now its a long away dream

to be young 
to be trendy
to be singing aloud
to feel alive
to be the carefree me

life has changed 
songs aplenty created 
newer vistas to revisit
when they become the past 
to tap into as and when hope is needed
a lighter mood brings it all back 

music
words not always needed
lives changed
we moved we swayed we loved it
embarrassing now but fashionable then

it takes just one button
it takes just a moment to transport you back in time 
it takes a willingness not to forget 
just press
play
