The Room

The room was filled with
Darkness like silk
From inside
A graceful hand
Carefully closed the door

As dark as it was
The room
Waited for a storm

In the middle of thunder and lightning
Only for a moment
The room would be faintly lit

THE ROOM

Close

The Room

The room was filled with
Darkness like silk
From inside
A graceful hand
Carefully closed the door

As dark as it was
The room
Waited for a storm

In the middle of thunder and lightning
Only for a moment
The room would be faintly lit

The Room

The room was filled with
Darkness like silk
From inside
A graceful hand
Carefully closed the door

As dark as it was
The room
Waited for a storm

In the middle of thunder and lightning
Only for a moment
The room would be faintly lit
