In the crowded streets
Lies a feeling most discreet
That we all experience, and keep
Within a world so deep
The beauty of fleeting connection
In this vast human intersection
Every glance a story, a whispered word
Sonder’s embrace, in hearts it stirred
A traveler with a suitcase of dreams
In every station, a glimpse of life’s streams
Each passerby, a destination yet to unfold
In their shared paths, stories are told
A young child, eyes wide with wonder
Innocent but wrapped in awe-filled blunder
Sees magic in each person passing by
In their laughter and smiles, joy does lie
The lady with the knowing gaze
Carried history and tales to praise
The wisdom she held spoke volumes untold
With treasured memories to hold
The lovers staring into each other eyes
Planning out the years for the rest of their lives
Holding hands as strangers scatter
Because nothing else in that moment matters
Sonder is a fascinating thing
Realizing every soul has a song to sing
Unaware of one another’s feelings
But intertwines in life’s subtle dealings
Labyrinth of a Girls Mind
