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?

The Death Of Unblosomed Buds


 The Death of Unblossomed Buds

The buds wither and fall

before they bloom

in the garden of the world,

where insects have reigned

since primordial times,

driven by merciless instincts.

They devour everything,

leaving nothing

for the tender buds

to unfold their petals,

release their fragrance,

or bring a touch of heaven

to this wounded earth.

No one considers

their hunger,

their fragile need to survive;

each thirsts only

to quench its own desire.

And so the buds fall,

withered before their time,

from the sheltering branches

of their helpless mother trees.

Born into poverty,

denied life's nourishment,

they perish before the dawn

of their promised spring.

The garden grows silent,

its unborn blossoms lost—

while the world moves on,

unmoved by their absence.
