Love for a High School Motivational Speaker

[tectak]

I love you, sainted lady;
take me down to Galilee.
Past the mount where once spoke Jesus,
on to where he walked the sea.

You were lithe and pure as sunrise,
light against a soot filled sky.
But rough frauds took down your candle,
read a rant, then huffed you dry.

Who can comprehend the reasons
why you went with them, that day.
Had you missed the classic folly
of a church demanding pay?

Now you dole out high school sermons
on the sin of headless bliss.
You've been saved through intervention;
I’m still waiting for that kiss

on my cheek, for I have loved you
through the lows and frantic peaks.
So walk me past old bayside steeples
by the shores of Galilee.

Hi pandp,
I make it a point never to comment on any content involving one of the 3G's...god, ghosts or gravity, so we may never lock metaphorical horns!
Poetic observation:

on my cheek, for I have loved you
through the lows and frantic peaks.
So walk me past old bayside steeples
by the shores of Galilee.

....as another observed, rhyme is executed.

Best,
tectak
