The wall

that hadn't a thing

attractive about it,

soon became the eye

of a sea of awestruck people.

Gary's restaurant

saw an influx of visitors.

People laid out chairs

right outside the little restaurant

and watched the artistic

girl weave up her magic,

while enjoying their food.

It was a real treat.

Food and art.

The both of them were

like conjoined twins.

At least that's what it

felt like to the crowd.

It was the third day of

her work.

And the wall was already

doing wonders.

Splayed out

on top of the lavender

was a

farrago of brilliantly

poetic colors.

Silvers, turquoise, roses and gold.

They coated up the

wall in such a magnificent way,

the onlookers could only stare.

The paints were sprayed out

in bursts and trickles.

Blurs and creases.

And yet,

in the most magical

way,

it also made sense.

This girl,

she knew her colors well.

Perhaps even better

than she knew herself.

Because while staring out at

the eagerly working girl,

Gary knew if he had done

what she was doing,

he'd make a

complete fool of himself.

He would never know

which color to put.

Where it had to be put.

He'd come up blank.

She

had something within.

Not everyone

could paint so

nonchalantly,

yet so well.

So immersed

in her work was she,

not a trickle of worry,

just plain concentration.

The painting was very near

its finish

and the people who watched

hadn't the patience to wait.

For they

realized

that this girl had

no turning back.

So

whatever she had her mind

set on,

they knew,

would be bloody good.
