A cool breeze promises rain.
My old hut creaks with anticipation.

The untold
Toby Sebastian
May 2015
The untold
Sky with no clouds
Earth with no prints
A heron poised in the grasses
Meets my sightless gaze.
I have no feet and no head
Alive so alive!
Unsurpassable beauty
Is spilt all around.

I see
and I love,
yet the two dance so tightly
that there is only one.

Today I woke beneath a tree
and you were not there.
I had been dreaming of you again.

Awaiting reunion
Each morning the same question,
the same sickly sweet knot in my tummy.
How long now?

Just do what you do
Flowers turn
to meet the morning sun.
This is my religion.

Only a teapot between us
Sunlit eyes
like autumn pools
We smile over a *** of jasmine tea.

Sometimes sun, sometimes rain
Wind blows in the rushes

Wandering moon

Wandering moon
Beneath chattering palms
ocean waves talk quietly.
Quieter still, the crescent moon wanders the night.

words fall to paper.

Because of love
Toby Sebastian
May 2015
Because of love
Your sleeping breath on my skin
and then my eyes mirrored in yours.
These few words can only point to the love I feel
waking with you this morning.

Listen
Toby Sebastian

Listen
Putting a shell to my ear
I listen to the ocean.
Activity becomes no mind
no mind becomes activity.

Lakeside dreaming

Lakeside dreaming
Waving pines
in the lake
I am lost in the reflections.
A mosquito
bites my foot
and I pass from one dream to the next.

Pine needles fall to the lake's surface.
The world ripples,
beginning again,
and again.

Rainstorm at night
Rain hammers
and lightning paints the sky bright violet -
illuminating patterns in puddles.
