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?

Cataclysm

  Cataclysm A foreboding hush Enveloped the ambience. The cackle of demons Drifted through the air, While an owl's hooting Warned the timid rabbits To hide deep Within their dens. After a little while, Countless thunders Would shake the earth With fatal fury. Every living thing Appeared gloomy, Trembling in fear Of approaching doom. Perhaps it was The predestined plot Of a cataclysm. By Goutam Roy
