Two easels lay apart,
Abstracted of different mediums.
One from shimmering hope,
Other knowing only heavy demur.
In practice,
The two bonded over mixings
Of colorful palettes,
Revealing hopes and dreams,
Triumphs and downfalls,
Water both half-full and half-empty.
What former conceived,
Latter believed.
They became mural
In endless second,
And in next few decades.
