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?

Melancholic Strain


 Melancholic Strain 

Who knows—

this sorrowed current

drifting along the mind’s far horizon

is not of today,

but a whisper carried

from a life long dissolved?

Perhaps it rises

from unfulfilled longings—

seeds of desire

buried in the dark soil of time,

silent,

yet aching to awaken.

Or is it a timeless strain,

a hidden raga of the soul,

tuned through endless ages,

resonating

in the unseen chambers of being?

The secret remains veiled

within that soundless abyss

where memory dissolves—

and the soul turns,

again and again,

in the eternal circle

of life and death.
