It was one dark night
Suddenly pluged into my head
one brilliant star
and whispered to my ears
The glittering stars in the sky are seen
because your eyes are seeing them
the rain beating against the windows is heard
not that you are hearing them
but that your ears are hearing them
I thought it was I who looked at the stars
and listened to the rain beating against the window
But now with my eyes and ears open
I realize I am the stars and rain
Oh, the brilliant light shines once more
and I realize I am neither the starlight nor the
raindrops
Now that I understand all
and am awakened to my True Nature
words are too shabby to convey this
Outside the window in the sky
still glittering are the stars
and endlessly falling down is rain.
~”The Way to Light up Your Divinity” by Ilchi Lee
One Response to “I thought it was I looking at the stars…”
This is my favorite poem.
