I Want for Nothing

Katie B.

Desire for worldly possessions fades

Shrugging the material

Wanting for no earthly good

Seeking nothing other than

Peace that already abides

I live in abundance

As a vine of grapes plumps

Soon they will flood the goblet

It is that same overflow

That courses through me

 

My air is rich and savory

To inhale, sublime

My water runs pristine, fluid

My sustenance is ample

Fed as the sparrow

My wealth, intrinsic beauty

Like the orange and pink hues

That butter the horizon

Love that comes as the pouring rain

The irreplaceable luxury of

Loving the one that loves me back
