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?

Cry Of Nature


 


Cry of Nature


Once adorned with countless hues,

arrayed in beauty and abundance,

she now bears the scars

of relentless erosion and ruin,

her delicate balance undone.

Can you hear her cry?

Can you feel her rage?

Or do you feign deafness,

lost within the frenzy

of human ambition?

Look around—

the once-faithful seasons

stagger from their ancient course,

disturbed by her growing wrath.

Yet your numbed spirit

continues its assault

upon the mother's breast,

driven by an endless hunger

to stand above all else.

Alas, you never paused to see

how greed has turned

a nurturing friend into a wounded force.

Grand declarations echo

through summits and assemblies,

while meaningful action

lingers in exile.
