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?

After Sojourn


 After Sojourn

The sun will set,

dyeing the horizon crimson,

calling everyone home

to their nests,

to ruminate upon

the day's endeavours

and reckon with

what remains undone.

The weary souls await

another sojourn.

The sun will plunge

into the hollow abyss,

only to rise again

with the morning light.

And the souls wait,

beyond the fading dusk,

to witness another dawn

and resume their journey.
