Sonder
Sonder. Simply a very human phenomenon. An ode to our complexity and a tip of a hat to everyday interactions.
Sonder whispers softly in the air,
She’s hidden behind the hurried commuter
Shys away amidst the playing children
Woven into the wrinkles of the elderly
Echoes of her within the clicking heels
The brush of the passer-by
She beckons us to pause and reflect
Her bittersweet gift,
nurtures empathy to blossom
Contextualising our positions on life’s
chess board
She’s a language which transcends
speech
Found within the furrowed brows and
clasped hands
A reminder to be known
Everyone’s life is just as complex as our own
