Persephone's Prayer

Dear God -

I am in the inbetween place now, and I don't like it very much.

I am between endings and new beginnings, between living and dying, between death and resurrection. This is a very uncomfortable place to be.

Other people like to fall asleep, and others to wake up in the morning. I hate and fear both - because each has that inbetween place, that gray area between awareness and unconsciousness. This is the place where my monsters and demons lie wating for me.... always in that place and in that moment. I don't like it here, in the gray, between the light and the dark, with my monsters. Its frightening.

I will awake, resurrect, live or die within your time, and not mine. The sun will rise or set, the moon will follow it's courses - and I am helpless before the powers of God and nature.

I am very brave, and I know I can wait out the monsters by being very still, and very quiet.

But - God - I just want you to know, I don't like it here.
