The way things go left
and right
and whichever way they like
is annoyingly pleasant
you can plan a tea party
but a storm makes you bring out
the candles
and turns it to a candlelit luncheon
Creating Starts Out Messy
Amazing things don’t start out as a masterpiece. There’s just this chaos of thoughts with many different names that we as artists morph into one thing. We grab a bit here a bit there and create where we need to.
There’s many different reasons people decide to create things. Some people do it to heal. Some people do it solve a problem and some people create just for the sake of creating. I like to think, I dabble in all of those things. Which is why when I start, it’s chaos. There’s three different things that need to come out in one versatile medium. I have something to say, something to heal, and I have creativity inside me that needs to let out.
For me, Creating is a mosaic. It’s a collection of so many things. I want it all with one amazing idea to work with. Even if the idea seems simple enough, it takes the messy creativity to get to the simple idea.
So how do you get to what matters most?
Oh the Places I’d Go
If you asked me where I wanted to go this year,
I’d say to all the places I didn’t believe I could put in my planner.
I’d say let’s go to the hidden places and the popular places
as long as they’re both magical
I’d say the woods and lot’s of meals at my mama’s
There’s so many places I want to go
There’s so many things I want to do
but mostly I just want to be with you

Keep Searching
The return has deeper meaning
than words can say
search for the words anyway
The gratefulness you feel for someone’s kindness
can’t be expressed in a simple thank you
say thank you anyway
When you care about a person so much
there’s no words to describe it,
describe it anyway
What you can say at the end of all your
unspeakable days is that you tried your best
and what other better way to go than that?

Traveler
The train keeps rolling
wheels turn
things squeak
she mumbles about
this and that
this is her new beginning
nothing but her two
bags of luggage
she’s not ready to stop
going

I Hear You
Abstract
The future wags its tongue at me
the world feels right below my feet
and my home is sweet as a marshmallow
The fall waits with twitchy fingers
eager to taste it’s first frost
Saschia Johnson
Today’s the Day
I lift each finger from
the palm of my hand
The lines show something
to someone
I touch my toes
and reach for the sky
with hopes that my stomach
will work right again
I lift my chin and
let a smile spread across my face
today might just be the day
everything great happens

Chocolate Factory
He’s letting people in
but only five lucky winners
The five that find
the golden ticket
Will they survive ?
Will one of them
gain an entire chocolate factory?
Let’s watch
Let’s wait and see
who gets the moral to the story
most accurately

Persistence
Going to do it
again
and again
There’s no hustle
without consistency
show up
go to sleep
and then
show up again
