“Why, who makes much of a miracle?
As to me I know of nothing else but miracles,
Whether I walk the streets of Manhattan,
Or dart my sight over the roofs of houses toward the sky,
Or wade with naked feet along the beach just in the edge of the water,
Or stand under trees in the woods,
Or talk by day with any one I love, or sleep in the bed at night
with any one I love,
Or sit at table at dinner with the rest,
Or look at strangers opposite me riding in the car,
Or watch honey-bees busy around the hive of a summer forenoon,
Or animals feeding in the fields,
Or birds, or the wonderfulness of insects in the air,
Or the wonderfulness of the sundown, or of stars shining so quiet
and bright,
Or the exquisite delicate thin curve of the new moon in spring;
These with the rest, one and all, are to me miracles,
The whole referring, yet each distinct and in its place.
To me every hour of the light and dark is a miracle,
Every cubic inch of space is a miracle,
Every square yard of the surface of the earth is spread with the same,
Every foot of the interior swarms with the same.
To me the sea is a continual miracle,
The fishes that swim–the rocks–the motion of the waves–the
ships with men in them,
What stranger miracles are there?”

“Whitman, you once told me, is democracy on the page, messy
and imperfect as we are in real life, which gave you hope
that we would one day make real life true democracy, ripe blossom,
pollen dusting every moment and person, each scampering mote of light.
This is why as you lay dying, I read “I Hear America Singing”
and knew you heard every word and could feel my hand on yours
though you were already moving toward other miracles than this life.
A sunflower followed your motion and a yellow dog stood guard.
You, who lived the notion that the sun belongs to each and every one,
beggars, dreamers, kings, all. You who believed banks could have hearts,
for god’s sake! You have left it to us, messy and imperfect
as we are and will be, to keep to the work side by side
and as long as it takes, all the while singing of miracles
just as Whitman and you taught us to do.”
