Limerick

In the wild, where the people would flock,
A prophet spoke truths that would rock.
With waters he’d cleanse,
And hearts he’d amend,
As skies opened wide with a shock.

The Spirit descended like dove,
A voice from above spoke of love.
“Beloved,” it said,
“To you I am wed,”
In grace, we’re all called from above.
