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?

Rain


 



Rain

The rain looks wan,

Losing its radiance.

It seems weary,

Repeating its endless

Cycle of coming

And returning to its abode

Since the primordial ages.

Indifferent, the rain watches

How long the tales

Of joy and woe

Will linger

Among living beings.

Yet, by its own will,

It carries out its duties,

As pious souls

Serve all creation.
