She dared to be different
beyond hair color and lipstick
I swear I bared witness
to her magnificent image
When she stared at my lens with
the most intimate glimpse
of what it meant to be free
A genuine spirit
so photogenic and sweet
The way she skipped
through the rain
causing ripples and waves
like a nymph in the street
or a big city mermaid
that finally made her way to the sea!

"Okay, baby ... say CHEESE"
