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

“The Triumph of Perseverance:
--- Once upon a time, in a small town nestled between rolling hills, there lived a young woman named Sarah. She was known throughout the town for her infectious laughter and unwavering optimism. However, beneath her cheerful exterior was a story of perseverance, resilience, and the pursuit of lasting happiness.

Meat, Walking
It's dirty. Its skin and meagre cloth coverings are tattered and grubby, although there's a clean salt trail on each cheek. It's given up crying now, though, and before long those marks will fill in with grime. The corners of its mouth are drawn down, and its eyes are frightened.
