On New Year's day, I heaved with scale of ten gut pain

In Cape Fear hospital, several tests

At discharge two days later; they wrote: elevated lipase (can cause liver damage)

Pancreatic division.

Haiku #13,005-13,010.......................................Light and Love Illuminates

One resolution
Smart measure, full screen intake
Trinity means love.

From morn till night, light
Soft potent gems beckon us
Main ingredient, love.

Nutrition is gem
Light, airy rejuvenates
Strong ever ready.

Old friend is light weight
As jogger I'll glide through air
Steel stole feather's joy.

I feel glow of light
Frame pictures of healing light
Silent New Year's gift.

A heavy laden gut
The weight of a heavy heart
All time thief of our joy.

Thanks Vlad. I thought them up while in the hospital; sensing I needed a life style change because of pancreatic pains.
