A blank canvas This is not a sentence. The punctuation lack does not help the reader to understand what you are saying. Just starting with "Of" is a problem in itself. The hyphens are bizarre. Try "Crafted of delicate bone (s?), a blank canvas eager(ly) awaits impressive imprints ( is there any other kind?Smile), palmed in a worldly scene of unfulfilled compromise" Bugger...even when correctly punctuated it still makes no sense. Use words you are sure of. Palmed in? worldly? unfullfilled (com) promise? If this is word play it is not working.
eager awaits impressive imprints
palmed in a worldly scene of unfulfilled compromise.

How a life timed of rough tides"life timed by" or "life time of", as if it matters.
will come to embattleembattle is completely the wrong word
the shores, pulling strength
from weakness; to seek
truth in lies. gobbledygook masquerading as profundity.

Looking up to the sky
and sea in such beauty shadowing hard to look up to the sea...so do you mean "see"? I am sorry, but again, you have not shown the confidence to convince me that this is a deliberate word choice.
the contrast in natures, as aged It does not matter how poorly understood punctuation is, everyone knows that after a full stop you use a capital letter...though you are now in such a mess with this that you really need to look at posting rules. Check for basic errors before posting. If you really believe you are making sense then please read my closing comments.

their creative maker. Tautology. If you are a maker you create. Creative is an obvious filler word
Hi saiety,
Did I read somewhere that english is not your first language? I do hope so because all of my comments in the text would seem to suggest that you are suffering from some of the errors caused by the idiosyncrasies of the english language....so do not judge either of us too harshly.Smile You are trying much too hard to be poetic instead of writing poetry. Wordiness is an addiction to the writer and an anathema to the reader. Simplify your work and impress with clarity and conceptual novelty. Use metaphors to explain, not to obscure, meaning. Avoid being "preachy" in stating your truths, because they may only be your truths and not your Gods!

Best,
tectak
