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?

Cycle of quiet light


 Cycle of quiet Light

Reddish light scatters

along the western horizon;

through fading shades of black and white

morsels of cloud drift—

bearing a quiet message of union.

Birds cross the dimming sky,

seeking the warmth of their nests.

The sun, weary

from its long labor upon the earth,

slowly withdraws to rest

in its eternal abode.

Human souls, too,

tire of their wandering—

yearning for a moment’s peace,

a silent return

to the rhythm from which they rose.
