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?

Meditation


 Meditation 

Speaking words—their permutations—

conversations drift on

until the heart is full.

Unbidden, the hidden

currents of the subconscious

rise with instinctive ease,

guiding the choice of words.

Phrases gather and cohere,

adorning the body of the verse,

reaching quietly

into the reader’s mind.

Thus the work takes shape,

its vividness honed

with the hope of drawing

a bright line

across the heart.
