[Isobel Martin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Turbulence, chaos, a painter untamed, patterns emerged, yet none are named.
Laminar grace, smooth and serene, a quiet ballet, a flowing dream.
In pipes, it hums a steady song, in jets, it roars, fierce and strong.
From blood that courses through our veins, to winds that dance across the plains.
