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?

Before the Deluge

 Before the Deluge A foreboding hush Blanketed the land. The cackle of unseen demons Drifted through the darkened air, While an owl's mournful cry Warned the timid rabbits To burrow deeper Into their hidden shelters. Soon enough, Relentless thunder Would rend the trembling earth With merciless wrath. Every living creature Wore the shadow of despair, Quivering beneath The weight of approaching doom. Perhaps it was The decree of fate— The silent prelude To a great cataclysm. By Goutam Roy
