   Edge of Tomorrow

In those grand-immortal
hours of velvet night
just before the dawn,
when darkness sticks
   to the soul,
one recalls in cascading
   regrets
the cavernous loss of
youth and chance and
    love;
yet the mind and heart
rebound with infinite hope
in the magic of the morning
star, each new ‘tomorrow,’
and the delicious possibility
   of love's renewal.

A little different slant to this one, Bruce, more personal somehow. At any rate, your descriptive passage came through loud and clear, as they most certainly always do. Enjoyed!
