Layers of metaphor like falling dust bury this poem in meaning hidden. When all seems meaningless we all pray that there is something more. Enigmatic it pleads to be reread over and over.

This poem is far deeper than what it appears upon initial reading. I have read it three times and get a bit of a different take each time. Very nice

I like it as it is. But should you seek further consideration, here are a few observations: Clarify Imagery: Some lines could benefit from more clarity. For instance, \"Seen on patrol nigh every day\" might be rephrased to better convey the man\'s daily routine and its impact on him.
Consistency in Tense: Ensure that the tense is consistent throughout the poem. For example, \"He\'s sought to fix his wrong\" and \"How does he stand so long?\" could be adjusted for tense consistency.
Expanding Themes: You could delve deeper into the themes of honour and redemption. Adding a few more lines or stanzas to explore the man\'s internal conflict and his motivations could enhance the emotional depth of the poem. Just a few thoughts.

I recently heard someone say something along the lines of poetry being the use of language not shackled by its own rules

Read, read, read the poets of centuries ago, if you listen closely, you may discover why I insist the poets came from the ancient prophets. Yes, I\'d call your post poetry, but I carnot delineate why. Hopefully that still makes elusive sense.

Even scholastic overstimulation has a detrimental effect on quite every scholar, both seasoned and ill equipped.

Hmm, seems yours truly has been dancing on the edge of the same for years...the warning in conclusion now begins to haunt me. Fascinating and excellently rendered with haunting poignancy and perfect imagery. Thank you for sharing.
