““Beyond measure and dimension Beyond comprehension and speech Beyond perfection and expectation Beyond faith and belief Beyond anything I’ve ever known Beyond my imagination’s reach Beyond the scope of my mind’s eye Beyond anything that schools teach Beyond reason and explanation Beyond faithfulness and truth Beyond passion’s incapacitation Beyond the Spirit and Its fruit Past all that I know or think Past my sanity’s brink Past my visions of paradise Past cordial, polite and nice Past all that I ever knew was right Past the limits of all my might Past my world of dreams Past what it all seems Past openness and understanding Past faith, grace notwithstanding Across the sands of time Where the blame and glory are all mine””
