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?

Unmoved Ship




 Unmoved Ship

Without warning, the storm

bared its sharpened teeth,

joining hands with the relentless rain

over the Atlantic,

where a laden ship

held its course

through the gathering dusk.

The sea rose in fury.

Towering waves

hurled themselves against the hull,

as though they would

board the vessel

with the raging rain.

Upon the bridge,

the resolute captain

guided the ship

with quiet resolve.

The struggle swelled

to its fiercest pitch—

ship against sea,

an echo of the primordial contest

woven into creation itself.

Yet the unmoved ship

sailed steadily

toward its destined harbour,

faithful to its calling,

as the soul

crosses the boundless

ocean of life.
