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 the Road Forgets to End


 Where the Road Forgets to End


Since the first silence of time,

this road has been moving—

or perhaps we have been moving

upon it.

No one remembers

where its first footprint fell,

or from which unseen horizon

it rose.

It winds through

the immeasurable,

crossing shadows,

seasons, and forgotten names,

never revealing

the place where it will cease.

Perhaps the road has no destination;

perhaps the journey itself

is the ancient mystery.

Still, we walk—

pilgrims beneath an ageless sky,

carrying questions

no dawn has answered,

following a path

that remembers everything

except its end.
