Running Until Morning, pt. last
THE LONG DUSK
What seems like a number a years ago, dusk came up suddenly and I started running (See! I can learn my lessons, even if I'm not recognizing the signs of a waning day yet.)
The sun was faint at the top of the hill, but I kept running after it. Sometimes, though, the hill would get high and I couldn't see the sun anymore. The sky was still glowing, but I couldn't see the sun.
That's when I noticed that there was a trail of something that Mr. Expert Running Man must have left for me to find my way. I couldn't tell what it was, but the glowing dusk sky made it glisten.
Whatever it was, I could follow it pretty easily when I couldn't see the sun. I'd just look down and there was a trail of some liquid that led me in the right direction.
My plan is to keep running until morning. I've got to admit, I'm pretty tired and might stop any minute. But, as long as that guy ahead of me is leaving me a trail, I figure I'd better keep following it. It might not be there if I stop.
I don't know how long I'll have to run to get to morning. Will I have to run in dusk for another several years? Or will it happen today?
I keep straining my eyes to see if the light is getting any brighter. It doesn't seem to be, but at least it's not getting darker.
So, I'll just keep running.
Pray that I make it until morning light and that my burden will seem light.
I'll see you in the morning light.
