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?

Soccer





 Soccer

The twenty-two stand

in stern resolve,

their single aim—

to drive the round

orb into the net

raised upon four posts.

Crores of souls

watch with clenched jaws,

caught between hope

and agony,

yearning for the

orb of laurels

that grants a place

in the pages

of eternity.

The exposition

of skill and craft

goes on

relentlessly.
