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?

Safe Hand


 Safe Hand


In the meadows under the open blue,

a flock of sheep grazes 

at its quiet will,

the shepherds’ shadow drifting beside them

like an old promise. 

The meek soft hearted ones 

follow his staff with patient

faith-

not from fear of the sting ,

but from the ancient memory 

of being guided. 

Their instinctive endurance

carries the age after age ,

even through the clawed silence 

of prowling savages 

and winds that test the living. 

Perhaps it is their unspoken trust-

a trust shaped by centuries-

that binds them to the unseen lord

who watches with a steady calm.

And we too ,like them,

move under a guarding presence ,

crossing this green, sandazzled earth,

held softly,

in a hand we do not see

but always feel.
