One Man’s Face

One Man’s Face

written by: Edward McCloud

 

Genetics created the clay but he shaped the face.
Those eyes, steady tranquility through years of seeing hardship,
the brow wearing the cost and terms of freedom
the nose breathing the air of his solitary victory
with lips drawn and colored to speak the wisdom of a life
and lines magnificently etched by his noble transformation from youth.
His entire look and expression excludes any falseness
and includes all qualities of friend.
