So Paint So Write

To the fire in the storm, thank you. Thank you for fueling me with rage that has led to such feverish words; Thank you for the reminder that a downpour of pain is temporary. So paint! So write! Thank you for burning my skin and leaving a scar, dousing every phrase I pen with passion; So paint! So write! Thank you for the incurable scripturient need that would not, could not be denied. Thank you for the coals to scrape poetry across and igniting my insides; Forcing them to explode into wild; So paint! So write! To the fire in the storm, thank you.
