The Recluse

Shadows

More friendly than the open terrain of humanity.

Night

More vibrant than the light of day.

Dawn

A time to retreat from the empty sidewalks.

Noon

A time of sleeping while the noise of rebellion screams loud.

Twilight

The time of awakening to the beauty the world never sees

Life

A magnificent place where, in the end, the recluse finds release.
