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?

Train on the Same Rail


 



Train on the Same Rail

A train’s relentless rush,

threading rails like a shuttle

through life’s woven tapestry—

threads of joy and grief,

dreams drawn whole

across the loom of years.

An unseen force steers

the stars in fixed decree,

along cosmic rails

no soul can break or flee;

its sovereign motion binds

all in destiny’s thrall.

Yet each soul must seize

life’s truth from the void’s

grim jaws—or fade like

lotus-eaters, lost in sloth’s

slowly devouring grasp.
