05:00 — dawn

Every sunrise is also the death of the night that held you.

08:00 — morning

To begin your day is to accept that it will end.

12:00 — noon

The brightest moment casts the darkest shadow beneath your feet.

15:00 — afternoon

The golden hour gilds only what is already fading.

19:00 — dusk

The sky burns most beautifully in the act of going dark.

23:00 — night

Rest requires surrendering to the very stillness you spent all day escaping.
