if you knew but
one
leaf could you
imagine
a WHOLE TREE branchy soaring tilted
whatever?
if you knew but one tree could you imagine
a FOREST dense
murky-green p
a r k y
pierced with sun beams
whatever?
if you knew but this FORest could you imagine
the WHOLE VEGETATION OF THE WORLD all the swamps
prairies fields tundras colourful
gardens?
if you knew but the whole
vegetation of the world
could you imagine this WHOLE WORLD with glaciers
wavy oceans and deserts tangled nets of roads?
and what else?
if you already knew the WHOLE WORLD
could you
imagine only one tiny leaf trembling shyly
'cause touched with a bird's song?
if you knew but this song
could you
imagine the whole
music?
