Bird Watcher Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Bird watcher

I, as a bird watcher,
Silently, motionless,
Stand in the corner,
Just stare to observe.

Look at the legs, feathers,
Study their actions,
Through their behaviors…

Some go to birdfeeders,
Some plow, are pickers,
Some love sunflowers,
Masterly break shells.

And I watch,
And I watch.

Like those using drugs,
Ignoring life, close eyes,
On what may go around,
Just enjoy and keep calm.

Think about the spring,
The mating and nesting,
Sharing when parenting.

Said no to the shoppers,
Medicines, ambulance,
Specialists and doctors.

Only soft music,
Symphony of their wings,
And reading, researching,
With, without the public…

So, I am nothing else,
Beyond a bird watcher.
