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?

Shadows Of The Past


 Shadows of the Past

Shadows of the past

still haunt memory,

lingering where

forgotten footsteps fade

along dust-laden roads.

They lie exposed

among wandering leaves,

their colours

slowly surrendering

to the silence of time.

Mind longs

to rinse them clean,

to cradle them

within its secret chamber,

safe from the erosion of years.

Yet the heart's archive

is a paradox of its own—

it cannot hold them forever,

nor can it bear

to let them go.

So they remain,

half-buried in dust,

half-alive in memory,

returning with every quiet dusk

to whisper the names of yesterday.
