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?

Flow of the Mekong

 Flow of the Mekong The water flows through the Mekong year after year, bearing the tales of fighters for salvation— their blood reddening the river, leaving the laps of mothers hollow, their eyes condemned to tears for the rest of their lives. Then came the hoisting of crimson flags, at the cost of countless brave lives. But those bygone days are now blurred beneath the cutting of wings— wings once meant to rise into the sky, to quench the skylark’s thirst for freedom. By Goutam Roy
