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 Final Journey


 The Final Journey

Changing one vehicle

after another,

choosing different roads

toward the same destination—

such is the journey

of humanity

from age to age.

We travel according to

our beliefs,

our desires,

and the ways

we perceive the world.

We choose our routes,

exchange one vehicle for another,

and carry out

the endless transactions of life.

Yet, when all is completed,

we are summoned home—

riding the chariot

of eternity.

Our footsteps

will touch the earth no more.

All that once belonged to us

will slowly dissolve

into the mist of oblivion.

Only the journey remains,

fading behind us

as we return

to the abode

from which

perhaps we came.
