I'd like to thank anyone whom took the time to reply and critique, even if not all of it was terribly helpful. I mostly just used the thee's and thous as they just happened to come into my head at the time, I'm not terrible attached to them, so I'll cut them down in a rewrite. I don't know what is archaic (had no idea all the first lines of poems didn't use caps anymore) and what isn't, I have to admit that I haven't read very much modern poetry, I like the old stuff, John Donne, Yeats, a bit more modern Frost, ect. Anyways, this poem is very, enviromental, for me the natural world and the world of the mystic and spiritual have always been very closely linked. Thanks again for your time! ~Styrmwolf
