the human face

the human face, 
beautiful
simply 
being
human

see, hear
the human face
and weep
a weeping 
deep inside of you

a place 
from which Greene’s whiskey priest speaks, 
"The eyes of the heart,”
where we can see 
the human face

a place 
from which I write,
“The ears of the heart,”
where we can hear
the human voice

see, hear
brown eyes
full of kindness, 
the earth and sea,
beautiful

see, hear
hands and feet 
full of compassion,
the stones and soil,
beautiful

see, hear
a smile
full of love,
the sunrise and sunset,
beautiful

turn
tenderly,
kiss 
lightly
the cheeks of the human face

- Trevor Scott Barton, Advent, 2021
