A love riddle

The time and life of a bishop
Lay wasted and defeated in the land of Egypt
She lost her mind and her mission
To a petty little thief from Zion

Across the sea in a far distance
Vexed by a confused seer at this vision
How can this event come to be
when nothing logical could explain or be reason.

Isn't the bishop of that land a Man?
How could it be that he is now a Woman?
And why must a thief be in this?
What cosmic cause for this to happen?

A puzzle beyond comprehension
Why must this play come to the seer's attention?
A mystery to unravel from it's spin
A tale beyond the understanding of mere humans

Is this about a woman's love stricken?
O an epic battle of good versus evil
Who in this plot is the real villan?
The thief,bishop or gifted seer.

There is more to this than what is given
A twist to this tale I present to you
The seer you see was once the thief's lover!!!
And now I leave you guessing the start and ending

To this simple tale of the seer,thief and bishop saga untold ....

the coptic churches were founded by mark the evangelist" but I am going with "Saint Samuel the Confessor" any land or country can be called a her.....it could be about the early religions wars or the overthrow of the coptic churches by the Persians say 600 ad or so...the theif would be the berbers,the bishop wold be the villain its a battle of good and evil and a love story about country and faith...... wave
