Morning Cheer

Here come the birds a-twittering at 8:26 a.m.
The racket not heard until now, but now
the sweet pecking of my eardrums drum
in the sweetest way — the way God made them to.

Too precious the vainglorious melody, simply
harmonious, it flees. Replacement choir says cheese.
Release your chirping song inconspicuous lovebird,
winged-treasury of heav’n psalm, choir of angels.
          Angels sent to pleasure my ears —
an earful of morning cheer.
