It Wasn’t Me

✨A Poem✨

The world turns upside-down sometimes

and shakes those loose coins from your back pocket.

Maybe they were weighing you down

or you owed them somewhere.

Maybe the whole floor-to-ceiling thing is favor.

Could be a favor for you.

Some people like to shake things up a bit.

I’m not one of those people.

Give me the soft blanket gifted to me decades ago

fraying at the ends,

and the same dark corner

where goodness comes to visit

after the sun sets

and that’s all I need.

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.
