A barren canvas.
Waiting…
Waiting for a chance.
A chance to be revered by many.
A chance to be worth something.
A chance to become astonishing.

After what seems like ages,
the opportunity has come.
Waiting some more.
The suspense is too much.

With the first stroke of the brush,
colors are added.
More and more, the colors begin to fashion a picture.

After a considerable amount of dedication and hard work,
the canvas is complete.
It’s become what it’s always wanted...
Finally.
No longer looked at as a meaningless canvas,
but now admired by many.
