Here the light burns me whole
So bright it blocks out the dark.
Shows me the way,
An infinite pathway, a blazing trail.
Surrounds me , protects me
Covers me, releases me.
This is my sanctuary.
My holy ground.
You can never bleed here.

I love ruins, i love the history, i love sitting and imagining who lived here and what happened. To me this room felt like a sanctuary, hidden below the castle with one window, bringing in the bright sunlight. I know this is contradictory but when i was in the room, i felt suffocated , trapped and scared.. but the i had sudden urge to run forward towards this window rather then back up the stairs to the outside. It was a weird feeling, but none the less a beautiful place :
