Thoughts Behind Closed Doors

Amber Suspended, Windowless Room

Behind this door, there are thoughts trapped in moments of time—like summer afternoons frozen in honeyed light. I wonder if they whisper to each other, or if they've learned to exist in silence, waiting for a visitor. The echoes of conversation that once resonated here have grown distant, tethered to amber memories, soft and suffused with warmth.

The door never swings open on its own. No breeze crosses its threshold. Only the persistence of thought dares to rattle its frame. There are things said and unsaid; promises and uncertainties; imagined futures blurred by the haze of yesterdays. It is a peculiar kind of gallery—where moments are both cherished and feared.

Would I dare to turn the knob and let slip those ancients echoes? Or do I simply stand and listen to the stories woven into the very grain of the wood? Each decision is heavy, yet the knob turns easily under my touch. Is it time to step into the residue of what was once alive?
