Been Waiting For This

April 23, 2022April 23, 2022 | Jeffrey Yamaguchi

Been waiting for this
for the view to be blocked
with lush
where by not seeing
I know exactly where we are
the scents taking me back
winds so soft
they only lift the dreams
and soothing sunlight
at play with the shadows
let’s go where we can’t go
where we just have to wait
let’s go

A Clock of Wind, Ticking in Blows

April 15, 2022April 15, 2022 | Jeffrey Yamaguchi

A clock of wind
ticking in blows
devours with each bend

The second hand
makes its mark
in the dive of each needle

Our gathering in the fall
fades at the edges
but it happened

So we’ll always know
where to meet
in spring’s new shade

Still the Whisper

April 2, 2022April 2, 2022 | Jeffrey Yamaguchi

The flowers abound
suddenly
like a new sun
despite our mapping
of the stars

Winds glint a residual
new beginning
over and over again
until a gathering swirl
takes it too far

Still the whisper
lingers in the rustle
just long enough
to remind the fade
of the always of time

The Bench at the Edge of a Particular Moment in Time

March 28, 2022March 28, 2022 | Jeffrey Yamaguchi

Sitting on a bench
alone at the edge
of a particular moment
in time
that seemed to linger
like the greens of summer
has now fallen away
like the leaves
on those trees
that fell one by one
but seemed like they were all gone
in a closed eyes instant

The Fleeting Season of Pure Gold

March 27, 2022March 27, 2022 | Jeffrey Yamaguchi

Realizing as I embrace
the later light of spring
and say goodbye to winter
I haven’t let go of the fall

On the Cusp of Twilight

March 6, 2022March 6, 2022 | Jeffrey Yamaguchi

Only in the fall
when the glint of gold
equals the sun’s radiance
will you find this door
and make your entrance

Dreams of the Summit

February 11, 2022 | Jeffrey Yamaguchi

Heaviness of snow
climb once more from memory
dreams of the summit

Take Time Out of the Equation

February 1, 2022February 4, 2022 | Jeffrey Yamaguchi

For this variable trajectory
remove time from the equation:

The birds came out of nowhere

in a found poem
from a never returned book

there were directions
to this very tree
that will soon be felled by a storm

Billow and Disappear

January 30, 2022 | Jeffrey Yamaguchi

The frigid day made it clear
there was no point
in saying a word
just keep walking
to witness your breath
billow and disappear
again and again and again
