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 Little Barn Owl

 The Little Barn Owl All at once, a baby barn owl, emerging from its hidden nest, began to wander across the green field. Perhaps it could no longer wait for its parents to bring food. Small, fearless, and strangely self-reliant, it searched among the grass for insects hidden within their earthy dens. But at the sight of this unfamiliar creature, the innocent Dutch  grew afraid, sensing danger where none was meant. Their timid hearts trembled at the thought of some misfortune waiting in their midst. And so, instead of delighting in the rare sight of a young barn owl taking its first uncertain walk into the open world, their innocent minds shrank beneath the shadow of imagined fear. By Goutam Roy
