Poems for Recycling Lives

By David H Dighton

1.Senryu for Life,

2.Poetic Thoughts of Love, Life & Loss

Within are many haiku (senryu) and longer poetic forms. All express common life relationship situations, but in particular the judgement biases which affect our thoughts, feelings and decisions in matters of love and its loss.

As a physician with five decades of experience, I depart here from my usual role and attempt to go where poetic content lives: beyond the peaks of exact meaning, through the valleys of essence and personal interpretation, into the realms of the spiritual; the all-accepting, non-judgmental frames of mind so few have time for. From what other aspect of consciousness can one express feelings of love, beauty, stress and loss, all of which lack explicit definition, but all of which have their serious individual implications?

In any collection of thoughts like this, only a few will resonate with each person. Our search for knowledge and direction is always a similar quest. My aim is for each reader to find at least one item they regard as a gem; one that speaks to them and enables a better understanding of life and its commonest source of happiness and stress -relationships.
