The eternal dance with strangers fascinates me: Movement around and mirrored, Weaving through a crowd, a glance passed to and fro. Words unspoken, worlds unmerged But with the most miniscule of meetings. Voice unheard yet smiles shared Appreciation for the consideration when you step right Allowing me to step left, Unknowing where your step may lead So many faces. So many lives To me a fleeting encounter. And yet I feel them all.
