I am a room bathed in light. I am hiding secrets grim.
I long to utter a speech while whispers come and die.
Beneath the desk and chair hold documents well aware;
I turn my back upon tempestuous love affairs.
Often late at night when helmer meditates;
The pangs of unlit conscience with fear
I chose to claim. Outcast and forgotten
I am often dark and closed. If solitude’s
the heart of wasteland, I am dauntless
Through and through.
I am open once again to newer age prospects
Have left my youth in gold cruet I figured
Oh what’s the use. At times I peered alone
His worn and battered face. I am yet to find
Deduce if Β jokes were blunt or crude.

It is a natural progression from youth towards maturity. It gives insight to the more matured minds to prepare for the cruel world of reality. Very well expressed Sanaa!

Sanaa,
The image shows a rather formal chamber; cold and a scary environment..I imagine it creaks at night…Useful for getting the mind working overtime!

Somehow the room bathed in light is kind of mysterious and gives me the willies. I am saying that because of the picture. The other side is darkened and then there’s the room half-open which is well-lit. I wonder what goes on in there.
