Artistic Arthritis

Paralyzed in a tranquil trance,
She stared at the white blank page, terrified,
visualizing a perfect storm, robust and rugged
Then her metacarpals mobilized, resulting
in  a mortified tableau of a raging wave, 
her pawn trapped, 
she sculpted that death defying
dance, 
perfection, 
marred by a sadistic smile,,,
her first work of art
