Noreen Carden Poems

Walking in the starry darkness.
I seek a quiet place of peace.
Breath blows white against the air.
Mind searches a forgotten prayer.
...

Reach out your hand to me my love
and bid me walk with you awhile
Along this sandy moonlit shore.
Where i walked once a child
...

Deep into the night she awakes sensing his presence
A quiet pensive aura about him
She is aware of his confusion at being in unfamiliar surroundings
lost in a world of strange sights and sounds
...

On the night of the star,
gifts lain at his feet.
He comes into being.
Annunciation complete.
...

He flew in with the first days of summer
His black wings shone.
His beautiful notes filled
my day with sweetness.
...

A playground whisper is going around.
Don't play with him.
As he's pushed to the ground.
Now he stands on the outskirts,
...

Dawn sky, watery blue streaked red and gold,
by the hand of God.
Mountain ranges like humpbacked somnolent dinosaurs
Left behind from a long forgotten age.
...

and when the dark day comes
without invitation, the pain
lies thick around his heart.
Slowing its beat until it is
...

She walks the shore.
While tears flow free.
She wonders if the waves can see.
Do they know this truth profound
...

While walking down a country lane,
i felt my soul pulled back in time.
Surrounded by the ancient ones,
whose lives long spent had entered mine.
...
