In Winter Passing



by Pavel Chichikov

If He loves you very much but you are proud

He will chastise you until you call for Him

Like a small child in the dark for a glass of water

But if He loves you very much and you are humble

He will come to your shoulder and wait

Like a honey bee searching for a sweet drink of nectar

You will hear Him speak, a rapturous low buzzing

And in the sharpness of your vision He will stop

You will see each stroke of His wings, so quickly lasting

For you He has made and loves and will love soon

On a summer day, and now, in winter passing
