 This Morning

By Mary Oliver

This morning the redbirds' eggs 

have hatched and already the chicks 

are chirping for food. They don't 

know where it's coming from, they

 just keep shouting, "More! More!" 

As to anything else, they haven't 

had a single thought. Their eyes 

haven't yet opened, they know nothing 

about the sky that's waiting. Or 

the thousands, the millions of trees.

They don't even know they have wings.

And just like that, like a simple 

neighborhood event, a miracle 

is taking place.
