For my friends and family who are grieving, a Caim prayer from the book Celtic Daily Prayer:
This night and every night
seems infinite with questions,
and sleep as elusive
as answers.
Pain and longing are always present,
dulled only a little
by the distractions of day.
I am weary; I am weary.
I am confused.
Circle me, Lord.
Keep despair and disillusion without.
Bring a glimmer within.
Circle me, Lord;
keep nightmare without.
Bring moments of rest within.
Circle me, Lord;
keep bitterness without.
Bring an occasional sense
of Your presence within.
