And Nothing More
In the beauty of the sea, nothing fantastic I see.
Everything, even love, is simple to me.
In my soul, I live low since I cannot transcend the door
Of who I am, to become what I stand for.
To want, be it plenty or plenitude:
Too exorbitant to want.
Complex feelings are meaningless: to this not be they effortless could,
The way all should, as the world does not desire and is still abundant.
Describing me, thou say: “A primrose by the river’s brim
A yellow rose was to him.
And nothing more.”
And this is thy answer: “yes, and then you wonder: What does he think about everything?
What do I think?...this in my memory is dim.
If I were ill, I would have the will to reason the thing I try to ignore.”
And nothing more
