A painter was trying hard to sell his art, but no

A painter was trying hard
to sell his art,
but no one paid attention
and he was growing sad with a heavy heart.

He paints for bread
to satiate his hunger,
he has no other means
as he only knows how to put life in a canvas.

Then he noticed a girl
who was staring at the art with longing,
her eyes were twinkling,lips curved up
forming wrinkles beside her eyes.

When she realised
she was caught staring,she composed herself
but the painter had lost himself 
in the whirlwind of her eyes.

She asked the worth of the painting
the painter answered the same,
still hypnotized by her innocent beauty
when she handed the money to him.

He packed the canvas
which bears the art 
of a homeless girl begging for alms
while playing her mouth organ with the same twinkle in her eyes.

He gave her the painting
along with the money she had gave,
paying no heed to the protest of the girl
and walked away with another inspiration,and food can wait for a while.
