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
