There Are No Stars In The Sky Tonight

it is dark and there are no stars tonight
the sound of the waves from the sea has been
as harsh as it was this morning
the trees swing to the dictates of the strong winds
and here i am sitting on a chair seeing things
move and listening to the sounds of their being

how can i just be an ordinary spectator all these years?
seeing all the phenomena as they all come and go
and not staying even in the memory of my mind

i know the reason why, i know it from the very start
i am letting go all that confront me
not touching them even for fear of interfering
what nature wants to accomplish
for what each creature deserve to be
to each strand of its DNA to each destiny

it is the mere seeing of letting nature do what is best
for each of us
that makes this life alive
it is the flower that must open itself with all spontaneity
that i must see and feel
without the slightest touch of my fingers
