White & Black
Yonah Jeong Jul 23
Absorbing all colors
black, is humility

White, which reflects
all colors, is purity

The values of existence

Look at your hat and shirt and
suit and shoes

Where you face and
what kind of heart you have

At the smallest fault
the most visible
whether you have these two.

About Rejection
Yonah Jeong Jul 21
Rejection
an invisible foundation
an inevitable process

It is the
foundation on which the building
of life is built
shaken by storms but
not crumbling

It is also the rejection
of the world that creates new paths

The gift of rejection
driver's seat belt

When you persevere and persevere
and persevere
it becomes a safer love

Rejection ends (someday).

Poetry

stroking
every day.
Yonah Jeong Jul 21
If you want to be close
if you don't want to be distant
don't look for faults
in the other person
look for your own sin
until you see it
when you find
ask for pardon
remorse makes
the relationship intimate.

About Bread
Yonah Jeong Jul 20
flour
grain
water
corn
barley
potatoes, etc.
are kneaded and then baked
or steamed
to make
which is not the case now
in the old days
was the solution to hunger
because it could be eaten
not all at once but
for a long time
little by little

I sometimes miss the old fence
at my junior high school
over the barbed wire,
and the old lady
who handed me bread and took my
crumpled paper money
whose face I never saw

I also think of the relationship
between bread and poetry:
poetry of bread
poetry in bread
poetry with bread
and tear-soaked bread
rubbed down with tears that won't fall
bread is the crown of poetry

The appearance of bread
that is transparent
the voice of birds
enduring
starvation and longing
forlornnessless, priceless bread
soothes
unknown poet of readers?

Between the branches of a tree

Across the glass window
We started a different day.

Oh Happy Day 1
Yonah Jeong Jul 16
Before I got married
when we were dating
we'd stop by a bookstore
staff said,
"are you a sibling?"
I laughed because it felt good

Actually
my wife is very nice looking
I am real ugly

During 35 years of marriage
I never heard anyone say that
Then today
I met a farmer couple in the parking lot
and we got to talking about
this and that, i said,

“You have to work
as if there is no blood or tears
for your customers.”

After both of them heard my message
they looked back and forth
between me and my wife and said
"You two look a lot alike"
what a great feeling!
This time my wife said smiling

"Love leads to acceptance together
unconditionally"

and that's why I thought
"Oh Happy Day".

Love knows know
love doesn't know no

Love is invisible
love is felt

Love is dependent
love is independent

Love is eternally immutable
love is always new

Love is tempting
love is incorruptible

Love is the morning dews
Love is the beauty of survival.

Better Than Human
Yonah Jeong Jul 12
I went to the grocery store to buy
a pumpkin that's good for us

I saw several types of
pumpkins
I chose an old pumpkin

I was standing at the checkout counter
and the lady checking out
said
"Can't you look at old pumpkins funny?
It's more expensive than a young pumpkin."

I laughed and said
"It's not like people"
we wouldn't have done this
from the start either.

"Honey, look here
you hand-washed your clothes
and they smell bad
It's too much..."

"Yeah, okay
I won't do it again"

“Thank you.”

"If I had smelled that smell
I wouldn't have been so
already"

I told them my story
They looked back and forth

I said, "How nice."
This time my wife laughed along with us

Really,
love makes us look alike
there are no conditions
and that's why I thought
love is beautiful and great

Oh Happy Day.

Human Reservation
Yonah Jeong Jul 11
they believed in love
they shared a hope
In the end
they were hunted to extinction
they were moved to reservation
Survivors
painful seconds
in the five oceans six continents
they are killing themselves with loneliness
Human, they
buried love in the battlefields
betrayed each other's trust
from the past
time of shame
those days are coming.

Competition and incompetence

Make it invisible.

What lies ahead of us

The Poet's Task

Is to understand the beings that exist
with love and
to discover the
truth they conceal

as vividly as possible

The anxiety of love
The rest of love
banishing the sorrow of existence
the sacred love
this unfathomable love
wandering between heaven and earth
gifting the happiness of creation

The foolishest Love
removing corruption and incompetence
that must be filled
by the poet of this age.

A Dream 2
Yonah Jeong Jul 6
In a way
I think dreams are like a rainbow colors
the closer we get to it
the further away it gets
so it is like something that
we can't catch but
we're trying to catch
the driving force of life
Philosophically
we shouldn't try to realize our dreams
I see a lot of people
who actually achieve their dreams
walk away from them
Life is beautiful
who goes with their dreams
instead of
trying to fulfill them.
