Sonder and Sorts

Nandini Tyagi


Have you ever had the epiphany that eight billion people have their own lives with equal importance as yours?


All is here and there

All is a compilation

All is an eight billion

All is all the pages

in the book called the World

It is a bubble of All

Some we know, others

we don’t

Sometimes the bubble of All pops


The world we saw in a swirl of rainbow rivers

becomes dull and grey

All realises there are more to it

Seven billion

nine hundred and ninety nine million

nine hundred and ninety nine thousand

nine hundred ninety nine

more


Once the pfft of the bubble dissipating ends

The noise enters

The buzz and bang

The slaps and claps

There is more than my mind

more than my thoughts

More than


In a world so alone, so isolated, so selfish

It’s lonely on Earth

but sonder I relish


All have a life as complex as your own

A father

A mother

A friend

A lover

All have feelings and value whether you see it or don’t

A favourite food

A favourite song

A hatred

A fondness


To each their own.
