The image is of silver teaspoon with the initials "MS" (Multiple Sclerosis) embossed on the handle button.

I can hear the knocking,
and the place is rocking,
but my cell needs unlocking. 

Between the sun and moon
is there a spare room
for me and my teaspoon?

Inside outer space,
is there a magic place
for me and my bookcase?

Beyond the vast universe,
is there an angelic nurse
to reverse life’s curse?
