Sound I-2 : The Wind and Earth Cover Kaliyuga— And vision shall come to a halt.

The wind shall rise—not gentle, but fierce, Scouring the plains with forgotten truths. Earth shall tremble, not in birth but in burial, Covering the age of Kali in dust and silence.

No eye shall see beyond the veil, No heart shall discern the path. Time will stagger, And the stars will dim in mourning.

This is the hour of halted vision, Where prophets speak in riddles, And the wise grow mute before the storm.

Yet beneath the hush, A seed remains— Buried deep in sacred soil, Waiting for the breath of mercy.

When the veil lifts, It shall not be by force, But by the quiet return Of justice, Of joy, Of the One who sees Even in the dark.
