The Nature of Night

It is the nature of nighttime to be temporary. To be a period of darkness that both begins and ends with the changing of light. And while there are reasons to fear the dark, it can also be a time of deep reflection. A time to study the distance between our arms and the stars. Inevitably, dawn will have its way, and our view of things will shift. This is the nature of night. To show the world a type of beauty that can only be found in darker times.
