Analysis of The Portrait Of Jesus



I cannot recall where I first
Saw this piece of art
Or when was the time
Or the occassion.

The source was unique
For its soul I perceived
Then and now via the gaze
Of Jesus.

A loving portrait of Jesus,
Our Saviour,and the anointed
One Of God born to the
Immaculate Virgin,Mary.

A facial portrait beaming
With reality,truth,and love.
In fact a reality conversing
With my inner self.

Conveying the personality
Of He referred too by Gabriel
As the Fruit of Mary's womb
The eternal Eucharist of humanity.
