When a robin in spring sets up a nest,
begins to sing at orange rays of dawn
about musical genealogy,
he may well attract another robin
to continue the song he is singing,
which goes back before humankind arrived
to be part of his small, appreciative
audience, so too, should human beings
imitate wise robins at concert halls,
churches, and other musical venues
with a spirit of generosity
in celebration of life and nature
as it appears to us every morning
when we open our eyelids to blue dawn…
