The break of dawn

As time twists
into the tenderness
of twilight
and there is no
light seeping
into the density of sight .
The sky starts
to stagger and
wake for I’ll
still be there when
the dawn
begins to break .

The Break of Dawn

Hello, Edward,
"...I'll still be there when the dawn starts to break." Huge lump in my throat as I watch the inspiring video. Beautiful.
Thank you for this.
