Sparrow and Dove


by Pavel Chichikov

There is a cloister which I freely enter

Columns of the forest and a passage

Between the living alpha and omega

Every column is the holy mother

Every tree of sunlight is the Father

Every step between them brings me closer

I see a Person standing in the center

On His finger is a singing sparrow

He has a dove of silence on His shoulder

Round the cloister slowly I must go

To hear the sparrow, contemplate the dove

One is joy, the other one is love
