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?

Last Lap


 Last Lap

At the edge of the final lap,

they slow—

the weight of distance

settling in their bones.

Youth fades

to a trembling ember

in the wind of time.

Breath breaks—

each step a climb,

each pause

a quiet surrender.

No tears remain,

yet deep within 

a silent tide

strikes the ribs of memory.

The world falls away.

Time steps aside.

Still, they move—

toward that unseen abode

where the runner

becomes the path.
