At center, the standing figure of a young woman made of gold, facing left in three-quarters profile, with right arm outstretched in front of her, left arm bent to the side, and mouth parted. Another woman, in left profile facing left, has fallen to her knees and has her arms wrapped around the golden woman, head bent, eyes closed, and mouth hanging open. They are in a field or a garden of lavender and daisies. A few flowers at the margins appear golden. The daylight sky overhead is full of wispy clouds. Watermark of \u201cStoryfeather\u201d along the golden woman\u2019s outstretched arm. ","author_name":"Storyfeather","author_url":"http:\/\/storyfeather.libsyn.com\/site","html":"
