The room endures in silent grace,
A lonely, softly glowing space.
A room where order reigns supreme,
And chaos hides beneath the gleam.

It sees through every thin disguise
It casts a glow on empty ground

A black and white photograph captures a quiet, moody nighttime scene at the corner of a brick building. The image is dominated by deep shadows and a single overhead light that casts a stark glow on a closed metal door set into the brick wall.

A nighttime scene featuring a quiet, shadowed suburban setting. A large brick wall dominates the background, its surface illuminated by artificial light that reveals a warm reddish-brown texture.
