Helen Gaudin Poems

Silence makes the loudest sound
It presses heavily on my eardrum
Inside and out
A soundless barrier echoes
...

Scintillation dancing
On the edge of vision
Brilliantine curling
Swirling in twisting motion
...

Outside the busy world clatters, chatters and rattles on
Sounds of vehicles rushing by
The constant electronic hum, just below hearing, felt in the bone
The minutiae of other lives seeping into you through waves of sound
...

In the garden
The winds chime frantically dances
As the haupitonga blusters through
A south easterly wind
...

From the sou- west Tonga-ma-uru danced in
Bringing the sea's coolth in his train
Curling around me like a friendly cat
He wound his way into my aura
...

A slow and gentle awakening
As fragrant steam softy rises
Gently touching my face
In amber liquid endless reflections
...

Fractals and spirals
Trap the eye and ensnare the mind
Taking us in and down
Descending
...

My brother the mountain
My brother the guardian
My brother, watches over me
...
