Drawing focuses my agitated mind
Inspiration flows in a continuous stream
Sating my brain which ceases to whirl
Thoughts, dark and foreboding, stop
Running down like an old clock
Apprehension rises in a vapour cloud
Condensing into peaceful calm
Tantalising ideas slowly crystalise
Into solid lines and perceptible forms
Ordinary life loosens its formidable grip
Necessary release from relentless stress

A Letter to the Firestarter
Dear Firestarter, We can all see you, we've been watching you since you began. In case you didn't know we were here before you and we will be here after. We witnessed your rise, your setbacks, your guilt and your lies. We witnessed you start the fire.
