My Heart Finds Comfort In a Piece of Bread
XLVI
If heart finds comfort in a piece of bread
Or on some morsel that a soul be fed
Then such a gluttoned life that I have led
On peace I feasted than to pine instead
If only for a drop my thirst to quench
Or just a tip of finger cools the tongue
Then I have dived into an ocean trench
Of joy have drunk like from a fountain sprung
Of such excess that I have known so far
His love as wind blows on my heart’s desire
It goes beyond more than the brightest star
So unconsumed forever fuels its fire
I’m such a fool to beg for lesser things
I have more grace far richer than earth’s kings
