The Silence Beyond Eden

The Silence Beyond Eden  The sky, dust-laden, wears the stains of ash, while restless souls gather pearls of eternity, yet their hunger remains unsatiated. Frontiers bleed, dreams crumble into ruins, and nameless children inherit an unknown Eden's ashes. Once, your footsteps consecrated the earth, your breath sanctified the wandering winds. Now, iron and fire dictate the fate of spring. Who taught the flowers to fear their blossoming? Perhaps the giants still play their ancient game, moving kingdoms across the chessboard of the earth, while pawns of flesh and blood vanish beneath their shadows. And you remain silent, beyond the ruins of paradise. Is your silence the final mystery of creation, or the permission through which the giants reign?

For a Drop of Elixir


 

For a Drop of Elixir 


In the desert's scorch,

explorers launch their sojourn

from dawn's first thirst—

one drop of elixir-peace

to slake hearts baked in endless pain.

 Their hunt for restless blue

endures through preordained days.

They taste the sands' cruel mirage,

yet find no trace of ambrosia-calm.

 Endless rites to propitiate the soul

press on, till weariness claims them.

In life's labyrinth, pursuits turn fruitless—

a quest unquenched.
