My Picture In The Rain
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden 19-21 July 2008)

I await that final bell
Seemingly unable to extricate myself
From that constant revision of my life
With not a whimper from my dreams

I try to separate my night from day
But the darkness prevails
Neither winner or loser
I feel what could have been over what I’ve done

I’ve risked and cared
I’ve fought and run
I’ve tired and rallied
As often as done

Yet I’ve lived well beyond the norm
Done things to integrate and reach the dawn
I’ve seen the light and lost the focus
And came back again for more

It’s time to press beyond what I know
The door has opened and I step in
There is trial and error beyond
And that forgetfulness of life midst creativity

? Martin Eden
