[after Philippians 4:8 and Philemon 1:7]
Humble, wabi sabi does not expect
a moment of delight to be perfected;
yet, slightly flawed in this world, unrejected:
this courtesy Christ gives to His elect.
The joys Paul says to think on are selected
as this world's chaos tatters and befouls;
but are, in conversation, well connected---
bringing, Paul says, refreshment to the bowels
(meaning, the vital verve) of saints elected.
