Not Possible

Mahnaz Badihian

I go,
From land to land

From this dream to another
Something has lost in me,
An audacity, a cause, a sense.
But I do not find what I lost.

Maybe I m in  search of

my childhood contentment
Or the joy of walking

in alleys of the city of Isfahan
maybe searching for

 the loving gaze of pomegranate gardens.
Whatever it is I am looking for, 
Is not retrievable 
not touchable
not visible 

Not possible
It is a feeling called Nostalgia
that measures as the length of our life
