Small bites

Small bites

No longer greedy / at this magnificent feast.

I have learned that
answers bring
further questions
so
I stopped looking
for ultimate answers.

I am no longer greedy
at this magnificent feast
of offerings.

Taking small bites suffice:
A sudden comprehension,
the tender touch of a hand,
the clouds,
the birds,
the sunflowers.
