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?

Brutal Parasitism


 Brutal Parasitism

For millions of years

they have learned

the art of deception—

slipping their eggs

into the nests of others,

leaving unsuspecting parents

to nurture another’s young.

The cuckoo sings

with captivating sweetness,

while beneath the melody

lies a ruthless instinct.

A song of beauty,

a strategy of survival;

a delicate music

masking an ancient violence.

Perhaps nature sometimes

mirrors the darker chambers

of the human mind—

where charm can conceal betrayal,

and survival may feed upon trust.

Thus brutal parasitism

continues its silent journey,

woven into the eternal

flow of time.
