Why Such LONG Faces?
Such a great cloud of witnesses
Icons –
You have been painted with great skill and detail
You surround me
Silent witnesses
Eyes focused – on me
You have stories to tell with no words
Reverent poses
Longing glances
Traditional gestures of body and hands
Eyes, nose and mouth
Through your gaze I make
Eye contact
with the saints
Spiritual connection is fulfilled
through your eyes
One thought on "Why Such LONG Faces?"
