Reach Beyond

I reach beyond because there's more to You,
beyond my thoughts and words, there's always more,
the brightest, clearest sky I can't see through,
just as beyond the stars I cannot soar.
It's You, O God, Who pierces through it all,
Your thoughts and words can everything express,
You visit us no matter if we're small,
the only word we need to say is "Yes".
Yet if I search beyond I sometimes see
some insight through a space You let me peek,
and, like a sunbeam sliver suddenly,
breaks on my soul the insight that I seek.
As I raise eyes and see, though slight and fleet,
You sail the space between so we can meet.
