INTRODUCTION
In Our Daily Lives
We, every
mother's son, are living our daily lives surrounded by poetry, because
poems are primarily words, and words are fundamentally our hearts, so
we live by treasuring our words.
At the same time, the most important thing for us now is
the bliss extended to us by the nature, as well as the fine arts for our five senses
I describe scenery
filled with abundant flowers and trees in Musashino
Where you can enjoy the extraordinary delicate shifts of
Every beautiful season, and also
My imagining brought to me by such nature
Releasing my mind into the universe
When I write of
mankind
I describe myself, thinking basically about
What life and death are
What on earth human is
What culture is
What freedom is in the true sense of the word
But,
my poetry is not grandiose
It is based on my own life
I write of the humor, wit or pathos in my life
I live everyday by the sweat of my brow
Filled with love, joy, laughter, sadness or sometimes even
anger
Above all
I do not stand for any particular thought, religion or group
at all
I write for you, the individual, an independent existence
I have
been thinking of the balance between humanity and nature
I believe my poetry will provide your heart with that which
will
Let you think and feel the things deeply and live through
The difficulty of the modern era
This
book of poetry is designed and edited for a wide range of
readers
Even if you are not familiar with modern poetry or even not
interested in it
You may read and enjoy it
Or, if you are a poet at heart, you will see
Some substantial solution that you have to seriously think
of after all
Now,
let us begin .....
