Meaning: The brief darkening of strength; humility within sovereignty

The King cloaks Himself not in defeat, but in mystery.
The light dims—but does not die.
What is hidden tests what endures.

Stand in the dimming without fear.
Raise your hand to the veiled sun.
Say: “I reign not by brightness, but by faith.”

The flame flickers to reveal the soul.
The crown disappears to show the bearer.
Will you walk when the light retreats?

Mark this day with one quiet act of loyalty.
To oath, to truth, to what no eye sees.
This is your kingship under the veil.

Say: “I am not crowned by acclaim.”
Say: “I am crowned by covenant.”
The sun is hidden—but the vow shines.
