Zumba By the Ocean

By the ocean I stand 
On a hot sandy beach
My feet are bare and I wear a violet summer dress 
Beside, in front and behind me are people of many ages, and nationalities 
I feel as if I am just one in a million crabs on this particular day 
Soon like the sound of roaring waves 
Latin music rumbles out of a radio 
An instructor or in my mind leader of the crabs begins to lead us in Zumba, 
Like an out of body experience 
I am watching my body dancing from the sky 
My body relaxes 
I am now fully engaged in Zumba 
I am now engulfed in the moment 
I am laughing, smiling and dancing 
I feel free and happy 
While enjoying Zumba by the ocean
