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?

Sandstorms





 Sandstorms


The storm in the desert

fusillades the sands

across the arid land,

shaping the desert

through age after age,

isolating every trace of green.

The camels shield themselves

with long eyelashes

and hairy ears,

guarding their eyes and ears

against the stinging sand.

But those

caught in the storm's trap

are often forced

to surrender their lives

to its merciless fury.

The sandstorm rages on,

unceasing through the ages.

Some endure

through resilience and wisdom,

while others perish

in its unseen snare,

across this parched world.
