Sing Now, All the Birds of the Earth

As soft winds rustle leaves upon forested hills
And fog envelopes depths of verdant valleys
Receiving a missive from auroral emissaries
When the night that dreams of trills and melodies
Awakens the new dawn of ebullient themes
Poised to wish new-day a blessed good-morning,

Let the show begin, with the chorus of robins.

When day cedes to twilight’s orange, rosy skies
Sketching sunset in kaleidoscopic skyscapes
And stars enlighten kingdom of the cosmos
As seductive tunes complement astral ensemble
Serenading a soulmate in lyrics of romance
Enthralled in fantasies fervently longed for,

Let lullaby of heart warble nightingale’s song.

When spring blossoms on tulips and daffodils
And summer devours apples and blueberries 
Feasting on bounty of sumptuous grain harvests,
Traversing the seasons north, south, east, west 
Where weather’s the best and freedom reigns
Waltzing in ambiance of liberties yearned for,

Let fantasia enunciate repertoire of bird songs--

Sing now, sing aloud, all the birds of this earth
And articulate the splendor of mortal existence,
Lift the song of life, raise cadence to crescendo.
