Gloaming
CP-001 - Filed September 2026
Gloaming
noun
The fading light of evening; twilight.
There is something particular about the moment when daylight has not quite disappeared, but the landscape has already begun to lose its edges and detail. Colors flatten. Water darkens. Familiar places become briefly unfamiliar.
A useful word for a time of day that seems to ask for attention precisely because it does not last.
