THE FACE

by Joanna Gilman Hyde

The Hawk Corner Room 5:38pm

Today I have seen The Face

of A Dear Boy, A Soulful Man

behind a wall of glass

as He rose to Meet Me

His is The Face

I am Reading, Reaching

to Touch His Expectant Eyes

to Hug His Hopeful Frame

to Hear His Questioning Words

Sincerely Conversant as I sit beside

Him, The Embodiment

of Our Purpose
