" Son d er "<br />

T here it is, that funny feeling<br />

You see the man across the street<br />

His eyes are fleeting<br />

You see the woman in her chair<br />

A boisterous voice throughout the air<br />

What do you call the realization that you make<br />

when you?re no longer alone<br />

In your cup the coffee sits<br />

Sugar, milk a bit of cinnamon<br />

But next to her the same cup is<br />

Your life a copy on her skin<br />

Do you ask enough?<br />

Where did it begin?<br />

And where it might all end?<br />

And what do you call the feeling<br />

When your heartbeat beats the same as anyone's<br />

-Liana Nawarskas<br />

When there isn?t much<br />

No more than your constant cycle<br />

And you grasp the thought of more<br />

A dance, a song, a late night drive<br />

Can you break it for a moment? and find the beat<br />

See it as more than one<br />

And hear it as many<br />

T he cacophony of voices, the music of silence<br />

and the whisper of sound<br />

What?s the word<br />

T hat describes it all, the realization<br />

the hope<br />

the rhythm of the world<br />

What do you call<br />

T he underwhelming notice<br />

T hat no one has ever been the only one<br />

-Olivia Maria Chavez<br />
