How I Wished Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

How I wished

On the way to the job
Enjoyed the sun's smile.

Attracted, mesmerized,
Pulled aside and stopped.

Grabbed my camera,
With lens and tripod.

Aiming at my subject,
Focused to photograph.

Observed the golden sun,
Conquered the sky,
Became King and Royal.

Master sat on the throne,
Scribbled scrolls,
Many rolls, in ray form.

Mother Earth accepted,
The secret love letters.

Absorbing all of them
Into wings and feathers.

How I wished I could be,
In a hammock, sleeping,
Over there, peacefully.

Would use the blanket,
Of the fog and vapor,
Or maybe silk, mohair.

I would use anything,
Around me of nature.

Nature, you, sweetest,
You, the most devoted,
You are a birth mother,
To mankind, wilderness.
