The purpose of this paper is to study the traces of Lao-tse including taoist contemplation to restore our narrowed vision and to gain its original wholeness with nature in his poetry. To reach contemplation, which culminates in mystical experience is to escape from the abstract eye of science. Ammons bestows the glorification to things lowly, unnoticed and hidden, such as moss, grass,weeds, licks, ticks, and beggar with the help of an absolute. Desire that prevents us from reaching contemplation, the crucial terminology of Tao Te Ching of Lao-tse doesn’t make us see the mystery(妙). The heart of contemplation lies in pure mind. Pure mind let us see the mystery of the things and nature which emptied of desire. This mystical vision of Lao-tse is taoist contemplation, which is like Ammons’ poetic vision, and they both make us see things commons, humble, lowly yet magnificent with being.
