Prayer of Praise to the God

Wonder and awe, as I sit in your presence,
you who sit in the gateway, in this world and in the other,
mediating the power that shines through,
letting pass what I need, and what I can use,
holding back in mercy what I cannot.
Seen against the brightness, your dark silhouette
is still and sharp and clear.
Sitting fiercely, with perfect intent,
pure in your purpose, source of terror and comfort.
