Sonder?


Will you follow me down this path?


With a kick of curiosity,


Shells of life, a singular seed in full bloom


Like an echo in the forest,


Like a widow, unlade by the dance of the wind 


Like mind and time and the human's dark experience did I intake 


When did I find myself believing I am God's good conscience 


Did I hear you speak and dared to believe it was an imitation of me 


Who offered me the world? How'd I think I owned it all


Going up and down on it's own, like a seesaw


How foolish of me to think I sat on it alone 


Joined hands, the cause of euphoria 


I took a walk around that park again


I saw more than just one flower


I won't look, who'll get off first?


Aren't we all victims of sonder?
