That electrifying trill? Why it's a cardinal
singing out its soul in a paeon to spring.
You may have forgotten this to be the first
day of spring in nature's endless ritualistic
arrival of the seasons, but her wild creatures
are aware and jubilantly celebrating. Look
there he is, see that brilliant red caressed by
the sun in the blue ocean of sky this morning?
Look up, up, higher to the crown of that red
maple which months ago released its foliage
to winter. The throbbing throat of the cardinal
sends its ineffable gift aloft and the echoes
reverberate here where we stand, mesmerized
with admiration as witness to nature's miracles.
