An Invitation To Disharmony
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden 20&21June2008)

The phone, it rings, bringing anticipation
The answering machine clicks in to vet, friend or foe
The caller is family, and messages a grunt to call her
No greeting or how are you, hope this finds you happy and well
Just filling in the time due to self-appointed boredom
Inviting you to share the disharmony of an aged soul
Whose life was spent in abdication

The Strangest Day
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 16 June 2008)

I try to fight the strangest day
But it comes without warning to show the way
The thing that’s said
Which causes a frown
The passion unguarded
That’s quietly noted

Rain, rain that soothes yet keeps you inside
With the inactivity affecting the mind
You see the winter
As it rises within you
You long for the summer that was
And dwell in the uncertainty of the next

Yet we all walk that path that says
To hell with it all, let’s rally yet cry
Let’s set out to live
What we’ve not yet tried
Let’s be who we are
Despite the politeness!

? Martin Eden
