If I could have one prayer answered tonight, let it this be
Dear God: Don’t let me lose this moment of clarity
In which everything is laid bare – his soul naked and ugly
And the lies are transparent: truth is easy to see
Don’t let the caul slip back over my face
Don’t let these blue eyes become once more gauzy and gray
Don’t let me return to believing in fairy tales, this I pray
Dear God: Don’t let me again be a fool, when this Light fades away.
