Through Her Fingers

Her strong demeanor Is present in her great stare Strands of flowing hair Flowing straight through her fingers Playing in powerful wind

I wonder what she is looking at, or should that be who? Has that flick of mystery that nibbles at my mind and I'd love to solve the mystery. A real nice one to enjoy Rusty! :)
