Wonderlust

Posted byJaynePosted inPoetryTags:, , ,

You and me on a boat

drifting between heaven and earth.

Funny faces and parental nicknames

like nappy and blankie.

We’re rugged from it all.

Tired and oddly inappropriate.

 

But together we’re something else entirely.  

We’re mountains or islands

we’re something larger

something worth exploring.

Yes, we are new and uncharted territory.

Wild animals never seen

flowers never painted.

New and old

and never imagined heights

tickle our noses.

Wine falls from the heavens.

You squeeze my hand

and take my coat.

I hold your heart and never let go.

Glow worms hang from silk

and adorn our togetherness

with wonder.

Saschia Jayne Johnson is the author of Writer’s Quest: A Triptych. On her free time, she likes to be with her family outdoors and traveling. New England is her home and place of birth. When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize it was the search that held what was most important; curiosity." Saschia works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.
