And What Else

"April

the blue titmouse in the poplar.

and what else?

the poplar against the blue sky.

and what else?

water in the small blue leaf.

and what else?

the new petal in the rose.

and what else?

The new rose within my heart.

and what else?

and my heart within your own."

-Juan Ramon Jimenez
