Desire for worldly possessions fades
Shrugging the material
Wanting for no earthly good
Seeking nothing other than
Peace that abides
Living in abundance
A vine of grapes plumps
Soon they flood the goblet
The overflow courses through me
My air is rich and savory
To inhale, sublime
My water runs pristine
My sustenance is ample
Fed as the sparrow
My wealth, intrinsic beauty
Like the orange and pink hues
That butter the horizon
Compassion that comes as the pouring rain
The irreplaceable luxury of
Loving the one that loves me back

Wow, Katie, what struck me most was the image of the grapes flooding the goblet and that same overflow coursing through the speaker. That metaphor carries abundance so naturally…not excess, but a kind of spiritual and emotional fullness. Wonderfully done, Katie. A fave for sure. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
