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?

Abyss Ahead

  Abyss Ahead  If the song of seasons— nature's timeless science— is heard along the way, the keepers of fleeting days  may soothe their minds,  quenching their thirst  with quiet contentment  through their allotted time. Then the jewel of the cosmos  shall glitter with delight, adorning tender blossoms  and fragile petals for a little while, as though no abyss waited ahead. By Goutam Roy
