A Pair of Socks

(from Philippians 4)

x

Jesus says don’t worry

Perfect present tense

No need to count

x

Flowers contain beauty

On their own

A sparrow falls

I must admit

I like to think it’s caught

Maybe that discloses lack of faith

In falling without catching

When something good

Can happen,

Anyway,

And in a plan of which

I don’t have any understanding

x

How do I understand

Victory in a plan for failure?

On a good day

Or a bad one,

I have to embrace paradox

Death for life

Peace for enemies

Even assisting them

Who wants that?

x

Blake is good

At embracing contraries

Blake is correct

To do so

South is not the bottom

North is not up here

Certain maps

Do get it right

x

We conclude that in Philippi

In a time of persecution

There were directions

Not to be anxious

Over anything

Or to be anxious

Over nothing
