Analysis of the golden ray
I used to see this golden ray
So golden I'm certain
Sneaking through the empty space
Between the two thick curtains
But now the sun's sunk into
The darkness of the gloom
The sky begins yearning to
The company of the moon
My room which was once lit
Now drowns in darkness
Coldness slowly invades it
With the loud sound of silence
I am waiting for another ray
For a new dawn to start
Before this darkness finds its way
Into my beating heart
