Twelve Hours for Each

Darkness is once more, interrupted. Shadows recede into the cool mud below.
Swollen with knowledge gained from their observations above ground.

Daylight burns bridges. Hours setting limits. 

Mankind awakens. No longer bewitched. Nor between 

Color slowly replacing, a charcoal canvas called night.
