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?

The Burden of Light


 The Burden of Light

Destined to bear

the burden of pain

age after age,

the entity is sent

by the Almighty

to fulfil

its predestined work

and sacred duty,

spending its transient days

upon this earth.

Its pain

becomes the price

of your happiness,

giving it a strange sublimity

within this earthly existence—

a sacrifice

to keep creation

intact.

Perhaps

this is the Absolute,

the eternal design

sketched by the Lord.
