Day 19, Sonnet 19

At stations where large crowds do mill about

‘Tis easy to feel lost along the track

When unknown faces stare or scowl or shout

And spines do shudder with the click and clack.

What bustle, this, from work to play to home,

Impatience reigns in transit’s waiting game

And though en masse, each soul feels quite alone

For no-one knows their story, face, or name.

Then lo! What chance, a friendly face appears

And from the crowd a beacon of good will

The heart does swell as friendship wanders near

And warmth replaces concrete’s hostile chill.

Take joy when roaming through this city’s maze

For chance encounters brighten bitter days.
