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?

Let the Earth Rejoice


 Let the Earth Rejoice

Do not keep the Earth

sleepless;

let her dwell in joy

and mirth,

to earn the Lord's favour

and escape His wrath

upon this fragile Earth.

Do not make the Earth

so grave,

trembling in fear

of death—

the death of her sons.

Let not the volcanoes

awaken in fury

to scorch the meadows

and turn green fields

into ashes.

Do not let the buds

wither on the trees

in the garden of life;

let them bloom

beneath the open sky,

transforming this haven

into a paradise.
