| Ascension, by Salvador Dali |
Lost to sight in the clouds!
Taking off,
jet propelled like a human rocket
to return to –
where?
Is this how it was,
the Ascension?
Caught up into all the glory of God
and so here –
and everywhere,
no longer imprisoned by physical limitations:
unseen
but not
unexperienced.
One with the Father,
Jesus takes
into the Godhead
all that it means
to be human.
And so I know,
that I am known,
by the Almighty;
known,
and
understood.
— Edmund Banyard, in his anthology, Turn But a Stone.
