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?

Forgotten Rivers



 Forgotten Rivers

The forgotten rivers

still flow

beneath the dried,

sandy winding paths,

bearing the dazzling tales

of vanished ages,

still whispering

their untold stories

into the silence of human lives.

Broken fossils of the past

murmur softly

with sweet remnants

of their untethered spirit,

resting upon

the lap of nature.

At times,

the barren sandy road

is suddenly soaked in sorrow,

as though the hidden waters

rise again

to awaken what was once alive.
