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?

Blanche Monnier: The Unfinished Tale


 



Blanche Monnier : The Unfinished Tale

Grant me another life, Oh God, a life beyond this one,

where I may meet my beloved again and tell the unfinished tale—

a tale of love, a tale of pain, born within a darkened room,

where straw became my bed and stale, rotting scraps my daily meal.

There, I befriended insects, my only companions, while imprisoned in a living hell—

all to preserve the hollow honour of pride, the vanity of custom, the  tyranny of convention.

Oh God, grant me a freer life in another birth,

that I may finally quench the thirst of my waiting heart.
