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?

Vigil of the Western Sky


 Vigil of the Western Sky

At the quiet close of day,

the sun withdraws to his rest,

as though contemplating

the burden of tomorrow—

to rise again

and pour his golden sustenance

upon the breathing world.

Behind the veil of darkness

he conceals his radiant face,

entering a silent meditation,

reflecting on the endless

pulse of eternity.

Thus the cosmic sentinel

keeps watch over the sacred order,

guarding the fragile family of life

in humble obedience

to a will older than time.
