Time fucked-up yet again, out of step
for us to mend, to see changes,
to learn to evolve, instead -
Shackled to the past and
Imagined futures,
Revolving doors,
Forever
too late -
Death.

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.

Heavy and almost frantic, I like especially the “Revolving doors” image as a way of showing someone stuck in their past Grz 👏🏾
Just today I was thinking of life on a rotating spin. This evolving door in the matrix of imaginary life. Will it end at death though?
Crikey! That's a bleak one but beautifully formed, so I'll let you off.
Well that had an unexpected plot twist!! Nicely done Grz!!
Kind of sad and frustrating but beautiful at the same time! Any chance of being reincarnated and keeping searching for each other across lifetimes?
This is wonderfully done, Grz! It's so true how two people could love one another but the timing could be wrong. Fantastic work!
I loved the poignant imagery! Excellent work!
Oh my!!! To die in a revolving door!!! Great job, Grz!!!
Great entry and loved the illustration too
Dramatically done! Great entry!
Shackled to the past. We are, aren't we.
The cycle never end. Well done!
The evocative imagery and emotional depth in your words resonate with the universal themes of reflection and acceptance, excellent work, love it, thanks for sharing!
Oooo, like a vicious cycle! Really loved the concept you used here. So clever and creative!
Love the concept here wherein we are shackled to the past and our own imagined futures. While we need to learn from the past it is so that we can do better in the future rather than stagnate. Very well done.
Well done.
An intriguing approach to the challenge, Grz--very timely!
