In an obscured room
Some particles of dust
Are dancing in a random
Sun's ray.
The others, obviously,
Are dancing in the gloom.

Again, the final lines are excellent. I envy your ability to close a poem, Ris. Ending's are one of my many weaknesses. The only suggestion I would make is to change "Sun's ray" to simply "sun ray." "Sun's" before "random" makes it sound like the earth has more than one sun. Thanks for the read
