At 6:37 a.m. this morning
--a full half-hour before sunrise--
I heard a Cardinal just outside my window
spring into song.
The operative word here being “spring!”
No tai chi or breathing exercises.
No warm ups or scales.
No vocalizing. No anything.
It just launched straight into an aria
at double forte volume
without an instant’s hesitation.
And never mind the orchestra.
This was a capella.
Does it know it’s Easter morning?
Or is it me who’s in the dark?
Maybe Easter is in all of life.
And all of life is in Easter.
