Ensconced
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 09May2009)

Once ensconced
One can feel
After a little while
The thoughts of one’s personal being
Coming on
The aches and pains
The loneliness away from other
History warbles another’s mantra
Which one ignores beyond a would be mind control
And then there is that mental silence

A fleeting respite from the self
Just to be
The static of physical awareness harps of lack of due self care
One grasps at silence
Which seems to come of its own accord
Where one finds one has let go
It’s a busy secular thing
Just being

The systemics come to ask their questions
But one’s age just fobs them off
And the ease with which that is done just proves that one is essence-ially well
Despite the need to pry their justifications
Precious personal silence returns
Dwells despite one’s wanting

Strangely, muscles begin to relax identifying their tension
One feels a surging flow
As though circulation had forgotten itself
And it is fleeting again

Then there is …
The warmth of just being

Renaissance Man
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 06May2009)

Runs to harmony
Runs to despair
Learns everything between the pair
Is multifaceted across music, stage, philosophy, art and the scribing of la comédie humaine
Sees devolution in the lowest common denominator
Sees evolution as the integration and harmony of the whole
Sees absorption and expression as the engine of growth
Sees humans free of the shackles of religion, nationality and greed
Needs the love and the touch of the universe unfolding
Needs the energy of nature’s cycles to feel grounded
Feels essence and the ethereal grow from his feet
Feels motivation and honour come from the self
And as the internal and external join forces there’s an explosion
The magnitude’s exponentially expanding held by gravity to form
Creation some call it potential tensions in fact
And thus belonging is ever smaller than the self
Yet it resonates in the pulsation that is life
And in the dark matter there is scientific dawning
Despite the fear and obsession with mortality made to repress
And yes it is chance that gives meaning to an open mind to respond

Extempora
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 05May2009)

Stillness
Silence
Not even the din of everyday life
A child’s voice in the faint distance
Stillness
Silence
An airborne engine draws near and fades
A computer draws a breath
Stillness
Silence
Depression comes by
Speaks of loneliness and things not done
Stillness
Silence
Awareness comes and grasps at kindnesses
Too tired to act on the opportunities it sees
Stillness
Silence
Numb to the countless media led fears
Drawing warmth from a heater as winter descends
Stillness
Silence
Inspiration from the depths revels and rallies
In a dim distant corner of the mind if not brain
Stillness
Silence
All in all it feels like a good place to rest and recover
In the stillness and silence

Ethereal
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 01May2009) 

There is that compassion that lives in the heart
The creator and the soul

And the greed that is easy too lives nearby
In the shorter breath

While the nose gives scent
To the life that could be

Take a lift to the top for the thought that is life
And just below the eyes and the ears that take it all in

Then there’s the throat for to regulate breath and consumption
And to give out our meaning

Thereabouts is the neck as a conduit to all but for stress
And the shoulders which bear burden which discipates to touch at the hands

While the lungs give capacity to life weighed down below by the digestion and excretion of stress
Procreation to the fore and waste to the rear

And the back keeps us upright and the legs keep us mobile
And right at the bottom we are pedestrian and grounded to the beginnings of the ethereal

Esoteria
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden 29 & 30 April 2009)

Drawn to in
And drawn to out
But not without
He climbs a wooded stair

Driven to this
And driven to that
Survives a drought
His drive is always there

Full of intent
But not content
Strives for to own
His nature’s heart and soul

Hey a life
And hey to live
An individuation through
A ticket to eternity

The Poem-Prose …

Supine
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 27April2009)

The controversies lay in mastery of soul
That naked flame that both burns and warms
The spice that tantalizes

But what is soul
Sometimes destiny and fate
Sometimes a stumble through the jungle of random chance
Perhaps that one thing that binds us all
Blood, which we constantly shed
In the name of destiny and fate

Yet perhaps it is all chance
Brief, meaningless encounters
Sensorial grasps
And control and mastery seek to gather those into mounds
For some future use
Perhaps just to gather, as meaning

And the controversy is the resultant barren lives
In search of a soul
The elusive grail
Lost in the fear of death
The failure to focus on the here and now
The dawning of a superannuated life paid forward, plot and all

As Negativity
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 19 April 2009)

What could go wrong
May not go wrong
In the happiness of life
And a square with rounded corners is still a square
Though it probably represents life’s cycle more accurately than a circle
And familiarity seems to bring on the sense of ageing, perhaps more so than change
So logi-rhythmic episodes recur

There’s movement and a certain thrust where people know their fate
Though no one knows exactly when they’ll die
While how is sometimes known and more often wished for

There’s a nature in the natural rhythm of positivity
And it’s often industry or the contributing from extending mind, largesse aside
Then life’s eternal, perhaps infernal, balance bangs against the door of timing
Sometimes opening sometimes closing it to flow
And it’s there the chime of frustration resonates the loudest
As negativity

You Are What You Need To Be
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 17 April 2009)

There we hide in the interim cloud
Before we rain making tracks into life
Mixing with all we need to become whole
Though not quite the same as the other

The traces we leave as we evaporate back into cloud
Lend colour and character to a different whole
While the new cloud is yet another mix
Of the same essence-ial cycle

For to know is to have lived, till we forget
For I am only in passing
And the tracks that I leave will become traces
In the shifting colour and character of whole

A-flutter
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 16Apr2009)

The clothes line a-flutters
A-flutters
A-flutters
Then a strong gust throws everything violently
Including the shadows
And back to a-flutter
A-flutter
A-flutter

The birds bask in the sun beneath the wind
Preening
Pecking at the grass
A-waiting
A-waiting
An autumnal feed from human hand

The sun gives out a mid-afternoon warmth
Inviting you into it
Reminding you, winter’s coming
Winter’s coming

Your thoughts are a -flutter
A-flutter
A-flutter
