Poetry by Hamid Shibata Bennett
Page One - Page Two ~ Page Three - Page Four
What is this world that I thought was here?
Its gone from my eyes
reaching for rainbows
am I drowning in madness?
Only love drunk for the beloved
Silence thunders
Crashing cavitation
The vessel sinks
returning home
Brahman, are you listening?
Illusion cannot reach you
only flashing before
gleaming eyes
fireflies in night skies
I wander into the forest and lose myself
and keep walking
Soft hair caress
brushes and tickles
the nose
Feel the world whirling
close eyes and let go
waving at the full moon
as it careens out of
control
Rolling down the sidewalk
where I once skinned a knee
and cried.
~
Comparrison is a broken tool
laying at the foot of the tattered dervish
I see myself in you
wishing only to be free.
~
I saw sunset in a dream
and the sun watching me
and all around there I sat
smiling and alive.
Pick up any pebble and see yourself.
Don't be overly surprised
if it flutters out of your fingers
and gives ya
a wink.
~
Standing at waves crest, contemplating
the oncoming topple
Returning to mysteries...
For but a moment
I am here
Then, no more
The current pulls and a fish swims
through my chest
I mistook this ripple for a body
She smiles somewhere near
Every returning drop is welcomed
home.
~
Today, maybe you'll try
a funny little experiment
nowhere to go
nothing to accomplish
yesterday floats in memory
In this moment dwells a divine
ecstatic joy wanting to be found.
But, don't take this little duck's
quack as Tao
simply breathe and find, sweet friend
breathe and find...

Intuition rises
from the depths
of the human heart.
