[When it all fades to black]

My friend, do you fly away now?
To a world that abhors you and I?
All that awaits you is a somber morrow
No matter where the winds may blow

My friend, your desire
Is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess

Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return

My friend, the fates are cruel
There are no dreams, no honor remains
The arrow has left the bow of the goddess

My soul, corrupted by vengeance
Hath endured torment, to find the end of the journey
In my own salvation
And your eternal slumber

Legend shall speak
Of sacrifice at world’s end
The wind sails over the water’s surface
Quietly, but surely

Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return
To become the dew that quenches the land
To spare the sands, the seas, the skies
I offer, this silent sacrifice

    So very much to like in this poem. "My friend, your desire
    Is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess" Beautifully put.

    Two words caught my attention. Hath seems out of place/time. Maybe more modern has? And the repeat of morrow. A seldom used word but maybe substitute "day" in line 7? One other thought: but another stanza break before the last two lines to give them more empasis.

    Just a few small thoughts from me. Please write more. You have talent!

    Outstanding

    I liked your choice of language and the way you developed the theme of this poem which speaks of renewal and rebirth but also of great sadness. I think the goddess of nature ( this is what I took it to mean) has every reason to be angry at what man has done to this planet - but I liked your ending and the way you linked so much natural imagery. An intriguing poem.
