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?

Mystery

 Mystery

The dusty sky,

stained grey with black,

unfolds the tale

of panicked wayfarers

who came to fill their satchels

with pearls—

perhaps to answer

the Lord's unanswered question

with a gentle smile.

But the hunger remains.

Unsatiated souls

stare into the flames

where borders bleed,

dreams crumble,

and nameless children

inherit the ashes

of a paradise

they never knew.

Once, your footsteps

purified the earth;

your breath

made the air sacred.

Now, the winds carry

the unfinished arguments

of iron and fire,

while the heavens

keep their counsel.

Who has stolen

the silence of Eden?

Who has taught

the flowers to fear

the footsteps of spring?

Perhaps the giants

are still at play,

moving kingdoms

across the chessboard of the earth,

while pawns of flesh and blood

fall beneath their hands.

And you remain silent—

you, who once dreamed

of a paradise

purified by your presence.

Is your silence

the last mystery of creation,

or the permission

by which the giants

continue to reign?

Poetry : Star's Call

-

Dazzling stars' ethereal call in the serene night, as if bearing messages from billions of years- tales of hidden abyss. Their flashing smiles  drift like ripples  of creation, still unfolding  far away from us, for reasons unknown. The Lord's infinite crafts  flow on  into eternity.  ....By Goutam Roy

Prayer of the Winged

 Prayer of the Winged In the vast hollow of the sky, they wander— seekers of a forgotten breath. Once, the air was sacred, a silent hymn of life; now it trembles, laden with the weight of man. Dust veils the earth, smoke dims the unseen paths, and within their fragile chests time withers unspoken. Yet still they rise— beyond sorrow, beyond decay— with the skylark’s ancient song, offering their pain to the Eternal, soaring where heaven remembers purity. Quick guidance: By  Goutam Roy

While The City Sleeps

While The City Sleeps ​ A troop of monkeys moves with hunger folded into fur, speechless mouths snatching scraps from hands that look away. ​The blue sunrise sinks without promise. They scatter and return— centrifugal lives spun from the shade, from a lost belonging. ​Half-fed, they rummage through the hours, leaning against death as one leans against a wall— not to fall, not to hope, only to endure. ​Night arrives without ceremony. They huddle closer, sharing what crumbs remain— a silence passed from paw to paw, while the city sleeps. ​By  Goutam Roy
