An Honest Prayer

God, be with me now.
But please don't frighten me.
Be here in this room
But don't shake my soul with terror.
Be a mild source of comfort,
A faint reassuring breeze,
Fill me with a sleepy peace,
Be a vague energy to pray to.
Gently stroke my cheek with a wispy hand,
But don't kiss it, or embrace me.
Don't wring my heart,
Don't change my mind.
Be here for me for now,
Be less than what you are.
