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?

When the Sky Falls Silent


 When the Sky Falls Silent

I — The Storm Arrives

Darkness holds its breath

Rain comes bearing the storm’s weight

Lightning breaks the sky

II — A Violent Script

Lightning writes in fire

Brief letters across the dark

Blue fades from the sky

III — The Verdict

Thunder rolls without end

Like a verdict through lost time

Echoes fill the void

IV — Nature Remembers

Nature turns toward us

Not with anger alone now

But with an old grief

V — The Forgotten Sky

Once the sky was whole

Before our hands darkened its blue

Before we learned to harm

VI — A Final Memory

The storm remembers

What we have chosen to forget

The sky waits in silence
