Pedestrian Observatory
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 08 January 2009)

In a pedestrian observatory
He lives alone
Before him lies
Human evidentiary

All the birds his friends
The flight
The busyness
A mind at rest

To view the flowers
Along his way
Is to live his life
Every day

Natures, one and all

My Godmother
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 03 January 2009)

I see her sit
The minimal self
Breathing
Reminiscing her usual life
Not quite knowing
Anything or anyone
Then a lucid moment
Where she passes on
What she knows

Her being is love
Was love
And still is
Despite the failing mind
A mind which served
A very long life
Of fierce independence
And now the end times
Flashes and sleep
Until the endless sleep
Her god not willing to take her
Despite her askings
There’s still more to be done
Wherein I felt called to find her
Then to come to her side

For a long time now
I’ve called her my real
Mother
The font of love
Which taught me love
And now I’m here
By her side
To give and not to take
To learn my old lessons
Of patience
Of silence
Of perseverance

And now she must sleep
A temporary sleep for now

Humility & Silence
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 09 December 2008)

Tossed about on sexual seas
I ran aground at last
Where near all that was familiar once
Had vanished into haze

I stumbled on with broken heart
To where I woke again among suffocaters
Like a man possessed I drove them out
Till came the one to cure my heart

Through many years ensuing process drove me back as well as forward
My anger raged again and again against humility and silence
While all the time I fought and learnt and grew, and fought and learnt and grew
Till I could be myself in humility and in silence

Simplicity
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 31 October 2008)

What do you see with alacrity
When the storm is deepest
And you tend to resign, spent
Is it the tempest Miranda brings
Your conscience fears
Or the Lady Shalott in her final hours

Perhaps it’s just your darkest side
Which suddenly feels at home
Where you relax and see into
mind’s eye without expression
A calm within unchanging
No thought, no fear, no inclination

Need you know or just realize
The protection of that very turmoil
A cacophony of endless sounds
In the outer of your outer circle
Where within, right at the centre
Self realizes it’s life source

(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 16 October 2008)

Into the abyss I climb
For the wind of free to vote
That abolished slavery once
How’d it ever come to be

Costly gathering masses
Far easier souless pandering
But those who see are disenchanted
And those who don’t stay disinclined

Who would bother with endless haul
Accommodating everyone
A populist sale of the very self
To do what one did mean to do

And what was that so lost
In the hype and mayhem
Epitomed as a hateful chant
That leaves a bitter taste

Be the one, the saviour be
While the…
