For many years Daisaku Ikeda has used poetry to express his
innermost observations and sensations. He has given poetic voice to
feelings that have emerged from real life, and from the activities
of an internationally known champion of peace and education and the
leader of a worldwide lay Buddhist movement. With a vigour and
simplicity that derive from a style rooted in classical rather than
colloquial traditions, his poems celebrate the themes of youth and
of progress, and the mysteries of the natural world: whether a wind
that sighs 'with its melancholy chant to the traveller', or a
'great sky with its transcendent beauty and stillness', or a moon
that shines with the light of the 'silver monarch'. These are
poignant meditations above all on time, transience and the eternal
- rendered visible through a palette of diverse poetic colour, and
framed within a universe where all people are called to strive for
a better world. Such a world is characterized not by division, but
by peace and love. In that sense, these are verses expressive of
the author's deepest hopes and sentiments: not merely poems, but
keenly felt songs from his heart.
