Sonder

 











 

Sonder

 

Each person you pass on the street,

holds the strange beauty of a strange life.

 

We all breathe the same air,

and will die without it.

 

Avoid narrow-tipped assumptions causing you to fail

to invest the time to know 

peculiar characters, rough hewn and angular,

who enjoy the talents 

of spontaneous, unplanned actions.

Some leading a saintly life on reverent missions,

others bearing subdued pain kept inside.

 

Many individuals have skeletons in their closet

that dance for them.

 

Indeed, your own closet also bears your tales.
