A young lady draped in yellow silk
looks away from a moonlit ocean
waves of azure blue tease the sand
Her loyal canine waits by her side
Her stature longing as she gazes
into an unknown spot out of sight
Her eyes longing for something
she dare not reveal to a single soul
Yellow flowered hat fashioned
by London’s most famous milliner
hangs listlessly from her left wrist
bound in yellow cuffs of lace
Wind ruffles the folds of her gown
the sound unheard by the viewer
Lovely brown hair tied up in a bun
longs to be set free to fly

Very descriptive–you capture the way she looks and the setting, but also the longing she feels.

I think she might have thought about leaving her husband the painter… 🙂 She was actually quite famous

I agree – there was someone she loved deeply that she could not be with, even if she divorced. That in itself would have been horribly scandalous for her, as a woman. 💔
