Seán Walsh: Down to Earth

Down to Earth

Two men in white suddenly at their side:

“What are ye like?!

Standing there staring at the sky?

Eye straining?…

Ye watched His ascent until He was no more…

And as sure as He ascended

He will descend again

In like manner

at the End of Time…

Come, then!

Pull yourselves together

and away at a lively pace

back to Jerusalem –

great times ahead!”
