Ascension, No 1, a poem by Peter Menkin
by Peter Menkin Ascension, No. 1 by Peter Menkin There is a church service of prayer-- sing. Evening Prayer that festival day; we came as pilgrims in an expectation of a divine celebration. Grace. Enter into the liturgy. Celebrate God. This dialogue in prayer and word. Song. Oh, that he did rise--it was a hymn. When the Lord rose, He Ascended. Imagination, I was. Inspiration. As melodious beautiful voices, a man ascending in this beauty. Of the beauty. Making the beauty, bringing with Him the perfected human nature of this world. This is celebration. Divine. God's gift. Man as a being of humanity. God's gift of celebration. Humanity. Man and the divine. Mystery. This is the Christ.
