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?

Solitary Den


 Solitary Den

Millions of words rise,

pulling others from their path—

echoes in still air.

Mediocrity reigns

through the drift of passing years,

subduing soft minds.

Caged birds feel the ache;

unseen souls weep silently,

tears without a sound.

The air grows stifled,

hollow hearts ache for stillness—

seeking a lone den.
