Mash-Up Monday: Portrait

By artistsdaughter

Bruce’s art and poetry reflect the human condition. He depicts his inwardly struggling subjects with sensitivity and beauty. To him, within our wretchedness glows our potential for glory.

Portrait

He . . . —

Was an
Inward looking man.

His gaze . . .

Was downcast

As he looked
Forward.

His
Features . . . .

Aligned themselves

Along

An axis

Of

Determinism.

When . . . . . he

Smiled

It

Vanished

As soon
As it came.

When he
Cried

No
One
Could
Tell.

When he
Yelled

No
One
Could
Hear
Him . . . . . — —
