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 Love Still Flows


 Where Love Still Flows

How many nights

have you remained awake,

thinking of me

beneath the quiet stars?

How many times

have your dreaming hands

touched my cheeks,

seeking the sweetness

of my nearness?

You may never know

that I still feel

the warmth of your love

whenever, in silence,

you pour its tender elixir

into the depths of my heart.

Perhaps you feel it;

perhaps you do not.

Yet every day,

within the quiet chambers

of my longing,

I drink from your love

and find my thirst

slowly, sweetly,

satisfied.
