Mythos

A tree unwatched does soundless fall

Without an eye its crash to mark

And starborn light in vain does call

While hearts incline instead to dark

So natural course unseen dictates

The wave of time as life begins

Nor, in our barques asea in fate

Ken we the source of distant winds

Now blown to gale, now to 'phoon —

We strike our sail, but none can dock

Our crafts beset do founder soon

For to the hours we're firmly nocked

In time's swift drifts all 'twined we are

Yet each must pass the stellar door

Through deep'ning age pass on afar

And thus return to astral moor

    Hi everyone. This is not as polished as my previous work (many months polishing every word), but I still like it. Hope someone may be able to appreciate it.

    I like it. I am the barest of poetry readers, but when I read this, it put me in mind of Tennyson (I hope that feels like a compliment) .

      It does, thank you! Thanks for reading. I work hard on the meter, the rhyme, the themes, and try to have interesting language.
