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?

Where Creation Keeps Its Secret


 Where Creation Keeps Its Secret


Strange, indeed, to feel

that in the silent vastness

of the universe—


where only scattered realms

of stars and planets

gather in their celestial kinships,

keeping one another company

through the measureless years—


they kindle the boundless dark

with their quiet fires,

as though offering

a small but steadfast faith

to homeless pilgrims

wandering through

the brief passage

of their appointed lives.


And stranger still to feel

that within this immense emptiness,

beyond the reach

of light and language,


there lies concealed

the ancient and eternal secret—

the first breath of creation,

still whispering

from the heart

of the unknown.
