Helen Gaudin Poems

Into my mother’s embrace I give myself
I match my heartbeat to her eternal rhythm
My breath sighs in and out to the ebb and flow of her tides
Through my veins flows life as the streams from mountains to sea
...

Battered and blinded by the rain
Water sliding down my neck
Wet down to my skin
Shoulders hunched
...

Can a scientist measure the weight of silence?

I sit in the silence and feel the weight pressing down
Inside my head a soundless voice crying out
...

Falling like a stone into the depths of my self
Silence become a presence
My eyes cry out the words I cannot say
They all fade away into the silence
...

Darkness holds a soul defeated
Till fallen from the sky
The stone’s magical light breaks the world
Seen, unseen all is one
...

The wolves of grief have taken my heart
A child gone before her time
The cold moon ignores the pleas
Of a soul shrouded in agony
...
