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?

Banyan’s Embrace


 Banyan’s Embrace

The Earth

offers shelter

to travellers—

like the banyan’s shade—

for a while,

from the incessant sojourn

through the unknown

regions of eternity.

They rest here

till their allotted days

in her lap

of motherly affection.

Spending borrowed hours,

they bid goodbye

and drift again

toward another journey—

in new form,

new face.

No names are asked,

no paths are judged;

for a fleeting moment

all journeys

become one

beneath her shade.
