i found a photograph.

of a young woman.
the wind in her hair
a sparkle in her eyes
a challenge in the tilt of her chin.

i found a photograph.

of a girl
with her jeans rolled up to her knees
the best of her life ahead of her
when the world was hers for the asking

i found the photograph

of her moment in time

bet she didn't know
that this
was as good as it got.

and all there is to show for it
is
this
photograph.

    best part of it all...

    found it in a second hand book bough the other day - yellowed pages but spine still intact.

    the photo, small and square, is in tones of grey.

    She must be in her fifties now...

    still no idea who or where she might be.

    Nina,
    I came across your blog coz you seemed to have stumbled on mine and I followed your trail;)))) Pretty neat ramblings, crisp and nice:) There seems to be some fresh air to this place instead of verbose stuff! The unkindest cut of not being invited to an Italian place for some reason brought a wry smile to my face;)))) Hope to visit your place often:)
    luv&rgds
