PROTECTION ... PROTECTOR

BY STRESSLA LYNN JOHNSON

Protection ... Protector.

There! On the other side of my fears, nestled among the shadows of yesterday's words and

actions ... taunting the movements of now.

There! Inside a memory that feeds on the shadowy fears of unspoken, unnamed vibrations from ideas that do not belong to me.

There! Inside the magical spaces created by my ideas ... having the words to express the vibrations to protect my healing.
