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.
