Fears

Courage isn’t the absence of fear. It’s being afraid and doing it anyway.

Shadows leap and lift
from the ground. While
the world spins on a tilt.
I’m still trying to figure out
how.

Dolls sink and turn colors
while deep in the closet
something whines. Still,

she can think of
only one thing,

How can I make this
thing divine?

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.
