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?

Giant’s Causeway

 Giant’s Causeway Something—or someone— Still lingers within the cave, Formed amid forty thousand Hexagonal basalt columns, Some rising more than Twenty feet in height— The legendary causeway Of the giant Finn McCool. Often, the massive door Is said to slide away. To the astonishment of many, Inquisitive cameras, From drones to ground-based lenses, Have sought a glimpse Of the one who opens it, Yet none has ever been captured. Only the movement Of the door remains recorded. Experts' tireless efforts And endless arguments Have failed to unravel The mystery dwelling Within the cave. Perhaps the ancient battle Between Finn McCool And the Scottish giant Benandonner Still rages on— A conflict enduring Since primordial ages, As countless struggles continue Across the face of the planet.
