Prayer to an empty heaven

[rowens]

This is pretty good. I might come back with better ideas. One thing I thought so far was:

Let love keep its distance.
Let me delight in the scent of clean laundry,
sheets to fold, trash to take out,
coffee to make in the mornings, alarm clocks to set.

All I did was trim the third line and make a comma in the second. It messes up your rhythm, but it's something to think about.
