I asked the man of the Light
How the dead do tread;
He looked at me with empathy,
And this is what he said:

Earth’s little offspring,
Back to earth they ran;
But of that born in heaven,
*To heaven returns again.
-credit to Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations for the italicized words
Mr Trismegistus
Written by
Mr Trismegistus  They call it Earth.
