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?

Sleepless Tales


 Sleepless Tales

A yearning heart quests

for a graceful young blossom.

Through sleepless nights

it dreams—

and wakes to a sudden outpour

of many-coloured tales

spilling quietly

into the soul.

Like an aimless ship

adrift upon a turbulent sea,

it sheds the silent tears of love,

touched by the unforeseen

kiss of life.

Thus our lives sail on

toward the luminous horizon

of some distant utopia—

far beyond

life’s unforgiving mirror.
