SOMETIMES
Sometimes, I almost touch the unreachable.
Sometimes, I almost hear the silence of eternity.
Sometimes, I almost see the invisible.
Sometimes, I almost comprehend the mystery.
Sometimes, I almost taste that for which I hunger, but cannot obtain.
Sometimes ... moments of ... glimpses of the secret ... sometimes ...
O Father,
Lift me up to unattainable heights, craggy aeries! beyond the starry constellations! into your very Throne Room!
Whisper in my ear what even angels cannot hear.
Open my eyes to visions of the other.
Wrap my mind around fathomless truth.
Seat me at your banquet table and let me ever feast.
Not sometimes, but always and forever!
