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 Womb of Silence


 The Womb of Silence 

Before the word,

silence dreamed—

not the absence of being,

but the womb of all that might become.

Within its unlit depths,

nameless thoughts wandered,

like unborn stars

searching for their own darkness.

The mind, still without a voice,

became a shoreless ocean

where fragments of the unseen

gathered into dreams.

Slowly, the formless stirred;

shadows began to imagine light,

and the void, unaware of its own longing,

prepared to give birth to existence.

No tongue had broken the silence,

no sound had crossed the abyss—

yet creation was already unfolding,

writing itself upon the unwritten.

Perhaps the first word

was never spoken;

perhaps it was silence itself

discovering that it could become

something other than silence.
