Darlene's Photograph

I frantically looked for a camera to take this picture of a new friend of mine. Finding none I quickly wrote out everything I saw, felt, heard, smelled, and tasted in that moment. What you are about to read is better than any picture I could have taken... Enjoy!



Darlene’s Photograph


A raven haired beauty camouflaged with warm golden hued tresses like a sunset on a clear October evening , Darlene sits on the hand carved stone entranceway that leads into a loving space that rejuvenates all who enter. Her posture relaxed leaning back against the cool stone, knees bent at a comfortable angle to fit her shapely frame onto the space provided.

The one piece sapphire blue and white flower sundress moves unrestricted with the curves of her near perfect body the way an ‘88 Mustang navigates a winding mountain road. Smooth flowing lines of mystery of what lies beneath. The blue highlights sparkling azure eyes resting under closed lids of an angelic face tilted toward the sun, the sun that warms her soul with its rays of life.

Surrounded by luscious green ivy, bouquets of flowers, and oak trees that sway slowly with the cool morning breeze Darlene is a part of God’s nature, not just a visitor. A three tiered fountain behind her casting peaceful sounds of tiny water bells adds to the enchantment of the picture forever etched in my mind.

A slight smile allows the soft murmur of contentment to escape her lips. She takes a deep breath marveling at the scents of lilac floating unseen on currents of air caressing her like satin sheets on a cool summer’s night.

Soft red painted toes are the cute end of honey colored tanned skin that radiates the spiritual glow from a heart filled with love. The high arches of her feet conform to the downward angle of the stone keeping her in place effortlessly. A fluted glass of Champagne held lightly by her left hand to refresh her palate, she waits patiently for the first meal of the day.

A brunch of fresh fruit, maple syrup covered Belgian waffles, and turkey links breaks the spell of her reprieve. As Darlene stands…the dress falls into place like a curtain at the end of a Ballet performance.
