The Gloaming Limn

In the gloaming limn there are things like darkness, because it is told what terrible things are coming to everyone. And then there are promises made--despite all of the darkness--of good things to come. And it is explained, to everyone's amazement, that light will come because the darkness is foretold.

So the gloaming and the night are meant to be endured for the sake of the morning and for the sake of all the new things that come with the dawn.

A choice is presented in the gloaming limn--a choice of importance to those listening. It is found that there is a difference between darkness and illumination in which a decision is necessary. There is a lack of perfection in those who witness the gloaming, and so by the limn have their choice.

May the choosing result only in life and never in death.

The morning will come and everything will be seen new. All will awaken and all will bloom and all is now hope. For all of their fashion, those in the gloaming limn know their cold incompletion. The sun is gone, the night is here, and they swallow their pill.

Yet the choice remains, the hope of the morning, with Truth himself telling us: "Have your fashion, it is yours."

In the gloaming limn
We are tired and lonely.
We find that together we are alone,
With nowhere to run.
There is darkness dying the sky
And light grabbing our clothes.
What fearful times are these,
To know that what we are promised,
Just might kill us.

Are you going home?
In the gloaming limn
What truth do you want to see,
When mercy marks us
To be inwardly assigned?
The clouds cover our bright red moon.
The goddess casts a long shadow.
Our children prophesy.
And in the gloaming limn, I still believe.
