Upon the cobbled, winding street,367Please respect copyright.PENANAngctG4lI3G
Through golden dusk and autumn’s fleet,367Please respect copyright.PENANAjrHxlkftYD
A girl named Lila walked alone,367Please respect copyright.PENANAvsx3zBKuE7
With wistful dreams yet still unknown.
Her heart was light, her step was free,367Please respect copyright.PENANAJSsMx3b6ey
Until a window called to thee,367Please respect copyright.PENANA6BejX2qxyg
A shop of relics, old and grand,367Please respect copyright.PENANAkDbmxneMoO
With tales held soft in time’s own hand.
But what she saw, she scarce believed,367Please respect copyright.PENANAu2tz0hqrUX
A painted frame—her soul deceived,367Please respect copyright.PENANAlN8QObAgJd
For staring back with lifelike grace,367Please respect copyright.PENANAWWmqYCLnMY
Was her own form, her very face.
Her breath stood still, her pulse took flight,367Please respect copyright.PENANAOMSuYDsMWJ
The painted girl was bathed in light,367Please respect copyright.PENANAwltDbcOtDg
Yet softer, fairer, lined in gold,367Please respect copyright.PENANAbaJEr9CCcx
A vision of herself retold.
Who made this piece? Who knew her well?367Please respect copyright.PENANAtek4nA3Gwo
Who caught her soul in painter’s spell?367Please respect copyright.PENANAyrL0V4Mrs1
With fervor rich, she asked the man,367Please respect copyright.PENANASWZCOBZaCL
Who owned the shop—so old, so grand.
But shaking head and lowering gaze,367Please respect copyright.PENANAkNFNXPlhHe
The keeper sighed, lost in a haze,367Please respect copyright.PENANA23XbxzSY20
“This portrait here? A mystery’s thread,367Please respect copyright.PENANA7zcwuBMLHY
No artist named, no words were said.”
And so she left, her heart enthralled,367Please respect copyright.PENANAW0w9IqBYjg
A whisper deep within her called,367Please respect copyright.PENANAEzproFMt7F
She'd search and seek, she’d find the hand,367Please respect copyright.PENANArYagesBITS
Who traced her soul in strokes so grand.
She asked through halls of old cafes,367Please respect copyright.PENANAfydnhMYHcL
In libraries and grand displays,367Please respect copyright.PENANAFUJkyV1mDE
She combed the streets, she scanned the crowd,367Please respect copyright.PENANA76SspildN8
Yet never found the one endowed.
And slowly, slowly, hope grew dim,367Please respect copyright.PENANAMti3tEtnwW
The dream grew frail, the light fell grim,367Please respect copyright.PENANAv848pxk58Z
She told herself, “Perhaps it's fate,367Please respect copyright.PENANAP5n2VakDoB
A tale not meant to resonate.”
Then one fine day, in class she sat,367Please respect copyright.PENANAqeaXhdeZnw
A silent boy, a desk, a hat,367Please respect copyright.PENANAf2oYTRLPVo
She’d seen him sketch, though never known,367Please respect copyright.PENANA8FhNKECRFE
What worlds upon his pages shone.
A fleeting glance, a quiet stare,367Please respect copyright.PENANAiPZ44yBOPf
She saw his hands, the ink still there,367Please respect copyright.PENANARlsjoIKFZA
And when he left, too lost in thought,367Please respect copyright.PENANAkatlj6U0bD
A sketchbook from his grasp was caught.
It tumbled down, the pages fanned,367Please respect copyright.PENANAbl4Ycwk19i
She reached, she paused—her trembling hand,367Please respect copyright.PENANAtilk9UE8P5
Then slowly turned the cover wide,367Please respect copyright.PENANAWk6pnDYGgh
And gasped at all the art inside.
For there she was, in every pose,367Please respect copyright.PENANAxctQAgkXz7
In gentle light, in shadowed glows,367Please respect copyright.PENANAn9xmrCcCHy
In laughter bright, in sorrow's hue,367Please respect copyright.PENANAy0BQ3z2BwA
A hundred selves in lines he drew.
She flipped and flipped, her heart so light,367Please respect copyright.PENANAC0VZCibA5X
The brush of fate, the painter’s sight,367Please respect copyright.PENANAziZS0Nb5ZY
A mystery solved, a question met,367Please respect copyright.PENANAxTb4oif0z5
A quiet truth in charcoal set.
And as she turned one final page,367Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6zPix1Ihg
She felt a gaze both warm and sage,367Please respect copyright.PENANAR2x08GMelB
She lifted eyes—he stood so near,367Please respect copyright.PENANA8Vm6CmGYZv
His look was shy, yet held no fear.
“You’ve found me now,” he softly spoke,367Please respect copyright.PENANAQDRnjnro7s
His voice like brushstrokes faintly woke,367Please respect copyright.PENANAyQF41IK22Z
“I never meant for you to see,367Please respect copyright.PENANAWh57UX39CP
But all I draw is only thee.”
Her lips curved wide, her cheeks took flame,367Please respect copyright.PENANAEbSLcp4XL0
Her heart now whispered his dear name,367Please respect copyright.PENANAeilvsLJ43s
The search was done, the artist known,367Please respect copyright.PENANAXK0pTjXew9
And yet—she'd never been alone.
For all along, through every part,367Please respect copyright.PENANAq9TLvZIMWy
He’d painted her inside his heart,367Please respect copyright.PENANAWHMea7bL0z
And now at last, her tale complete,367Please respect copyright.PENANAeuoLNM7MBt
Two souls had found where they should meet.
