Leap of Faith

I know you'll catch me when I fall.
With me it's never 'if',
I'll take a header sooner not later.

'Grace' and I aren't on easy terms;
No rebellious angel
ever crashed and burned
harder than me.

Rough landings are my stock in trade,
but you're always there:
my lifeline, anchor, compass…friend.
I trust you with my soul.

I know you'll catch me when I fall.
I know you'll never
let me go.

Poet's Note: Peter Venkman thinks about his friends, the other Ghostbusters. (This is, of course, RGB continuity. I much prefer "The Real Ghostbusters" over the movies -- and, as far as I'm concerned, "Extreme Ghostbusters" doesn't exist!)

Disclaimer: The character of Peter Venkman is the creation of Harold Ramis, Dan Ackroyd, and Ivan Reitman. The RGB version of the good doctor also owes a lot to the superb talents of the late Lorenzo Music. The Peter Venkman depicted in this poem is strictly the author's interpretation of the character.
