Too Present to Fear the Past

✨A Poem✨

Specks of dust drift to the ground

settling between the floor boards.

Ancient history in my blood

but too far to startle me.

I drink from a wine glass filled with water

and snap my tongue against the roof

of my mouth.

Outside is brimming with games of tag

and brief moments to breathe only

to chase the next tagger.

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.
