She

Hand holding chin
elbow on rail

she stares
out at the bay

but she is not there;
sad eyes 
say otherwise

Beyond the beauty
of the day

sadness shows
what lies inside-

what beauty- 
cannot hide

Brilliantly expressed! When the spirit is somewhere else and the body is just parked while the spirit deals. Beautiful interpretation and lots of work went into this!
