The Silence Beyond Eden
Restless winds awaken,
and clouds gather slowly
above the emerald fields;
the thirsty earth waits
in the hush before rain.
From the dark forest
the branches rise to meet
the wandering clouds,
and when the first drops fall,
the earth answers in fragrance.
Every leaf begins to shimmer,
every blade of grass
receives its silver blessing;
the parched soil drinks deeply
from the chalice of heaven.
And I, a wanderer of days,
stand beneath the falling rain,
letting its cool music
wash away the weight
of forgotten sorrows.
How sweetly the world blooms—
as though paradise
has opened its hidden gates.
Within that rain-washed morning,
my longing finds a voice.
The monsoon passes through me
like an ancient song,
leaving behind no burden,
only a quiet soul
filled with the nectar of dawn.
