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 Garden of the World


 The Garden of the World

The garden of the world

lies in the grip of worms,

their slow invasion

devouring the tender leaves

and delicate petals

of Eden's fading flowers.

Even God and Goddess

stand silent, bewildered,

before the ruin

unfolding in their garden.

The worms had taken shelter

there long, long ago,

while the unsuspecting keepers

never guessed

what their presence

would bring.

Now fury has engulfed the garden;

destruction spreads its roots,

and the once-gentle paradise

crumbles from within.

Who can foresee

how this will end—

or whether the garden

will survive its own undoing?
