As I Wish Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

As I wish

They teach me,
And I learn,
As I wish,
Not their way.

They insist on the essay,
For getting good grades.

They name a few books,
Related to the subject.

Their lenses, binoculars,
May focus on the depths.

But I see their steps,
Is leading to the fire.

They gather in a circle,
Limited to themselves.

They do not know of others,
Talk and walks, and cultures.

I see designs, ways, manners,
Each, and all, having power,
To behave, show, and present,
Unique arts, beauty, attraction.

They focus on the pond,
My pool is deep in the sky.

The point at one hill,
I lean on all the peaks.

They teach me and I learn,
As I wish, not their way…
