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?

Crushed Hope



 


 Crushed Hope

Incessant journeys

of waiting go on;

weary earthlings quest

for a serene earth,

to breathe at last

with hearts content.

Yet relentless efforts

end again and again

in crushed hope—

the waiting for Godot

drifts endlessly,

until the storm of steel within

refuses

to cease.

 despair.
