Ascension, by John Singleton Copley
Robert L. Martin

Robert L. Martin

The Holy Ascension

Easter Sunday is the day to go to church
in praise of a phenomenon of this earth.
A heavy boulder at the entrance of the tomb
was lifted away to expose an empty room.
Someone had the strength to lift it away.
He came alive and removed it on this day.
 
Jesus’s ascension is what is on our mind;
a phenomenon that amazed all humankind.
What seems to be unreal is a documented fact.
The Bible says he rose up and came back.

I wrote this for the Belt and Beyond
