Native Becoming
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 29 April 2010)
Suppressed by a native cunning
The inner being knows no bounds
And as a full moon glows
The inner bretheren gather strength
For each is more than one

Rousseau’s Silence
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 24 April 2010)
Rousseau’s deathly silence has come to haunt me
As I struggle against (in)sanity to find my way
Even the perpetual sounds of nature momentarily disappear
And more, the background din of humanity too
There’s a deathly silence in my head
And I cannot hear my heart …

Time Will Let You Know
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 20 April 2010)
They come they go
The highs the lows
Not quite as you would want them
… But as you need them
And both high and low
Are hard to let go
For reasons you may not yet fathom
… But time will let you know

First Thought
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 04 April 2010)
On a slow to casual contemplative walk
Through a field of vertical tightropes
Like primary documents
A litany of fears of past and within, and the need for control
Yet stepped off at any time
Two ancient spirit trees
Dead sculptures above ground yet firmly routed
The first, once, touched sent warmth to and from the ground, now cold
Alongside a crossing in mistrust
The second shelled out offering glimpses of light yet likewise firmly routed
In the midst, perhaps mist, a conduit to an ancient past
While a relative blood from afar comes a-calling so close as to know
Destiny, clarity …
And there in the distance a swan song, an island, in a lake, strewn with ashes
Serenity …

Let Go
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 01 April 2010)
The body armour thickens
Against the invasion of life
The pain of diversion no longer works
It’s time

Island Universe
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 01 April 2010)
A word of perception
A touch of emotion
And the one rises out of the depths of isolation
To the greater one, the whole within oneself
