It was just outer reach

My arms are just not long enough

I reached with all my might

Just outer reach not outer sight

I could almost touch it

I lean some to get closer

It smell like strawberry I could almost bite

I could not reach it this just is not right

Just outer reach

But not outer mind

I know how to reach it

Only my ability I must find

My goal is before me

The challenge is clear as the sky

The plan is to reach it

Still it just outer mine’s eye
