The Silence Beyond Eden

Image
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?

Helpless Master and the Pet Cat

 Helpless Master and the Pet Cat At lunchtime she pads in, tail flicking—a tiny flag of demand. The master, already weary of her inscrutable moods, lifts his eyes with a sigh. A strict non-vegetarian queen, she sniffs the vegetable day as if the whole house has betrayed her appetite— yet still she mews for something she cannot name. Annoyed, he yields: two or three biscuits offered like a peace treaty to a monarch in a foul temper. She glares back, eyes bright with royal disbelief— as though he, not she, is the unreasonable one. And in the doorway the dog watches everything, quiet as a monk, studying the helpless master serving the small empire of pets. By  Goutam Roy 

Sleepless Tales

 Sleepless Tales A yearning heart quests for a graceful young blossom. Through sleepless nights it dreams— and wakes to a sudden outpour of many-coloured tales spilling quietly into the soul. Like an aimless ship adrift upon a turbulent sea, it sheds the silent tears of love, touched by the unforeseen kiss of life. Thus our lives sail on toward the luminous horizon of some distant utopia— far beyond life’s unforgiving mirror. By Goutam Roy 

Metabolism of Mind

 Metabolism of the Mind ​ A metabolism of mind— where elements of feeling are restlessly at work, distilling thought from silence, and silence back to thought. Thus continues the quiet tilling within, through chambers of solitude where abstractions learn to breathe. ​This process held firm until the reach appeared— a point of anchorage, where the vessel of the mind steadied, drew breath, then ventured into the deep sea.
