Poetry: "Ancient of Days"



Remember that this isn't meant to be good. It's a draft that may or may not be good. I hope it is, but you have to make mistakes to improve
 
Ancient of Days

He watches from afar
Never coming close to those he guards
Protects each coming generation
The ancient of days

Detached from the world 
Holds memories of times since passed away
Left his kin, abandoned all he knew
Immortal’s heavy burden

Standing through the ages
Rises to defend his former home
Hides a face of vigilant concern
Behind a passive mask

Spends his days in doubt
Doubts the role he took upon himself
The sentinel, the guardian of time
The ancient of days
