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?

Final Prompter


 Final Prompter

Resisting

the closing curtain—

breath falters

at the edge of its own echo.

But fate—

rehearsed, relentless—

refuses negotiation,

will not bend

for one more moment.

At last,

the body yields:

a mouth left ajar,

eyes fixed—

wide, unblinking—

into an unnamed hollow.

As though waiting

for the final prompter,

the unseen voice

that gathers the soul

and calls it back

to its last address.
