Ascension Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Ascension

Wonder if I steal,
Am I a thief?
Or lover?

Are they not,
All the same?

The lovers,
Wish the best,
But somehow,
For themselves!

"My lady,
Delilah,
Juliet,
Shireen,
Or Leila, "
And others,
Lots of them!

I look for,
Ascension,
In space,
Looking down,
At the Earth,
A nothing,
In darkness…

Then question:
'Who am I? '
Have value?
Like diamond?
Like a pearl?
What are they?

What are they if we are,
Nothingness in darkness?

Miss Hallaj,
Miss Attar,
Miss Rumi,
And others!

Who am I?
