Sooth these halls of darkness morning This line is very confusing. How does one sooth a hall, and what does "darkness morning" mean; is it referring to dawn?

Before I make my day.

Tremble forward to the casket Good line.

Eternal to the grave. What's eternal? The trembling forward?

In sheep lead life I brim and tide I think "lead" should be "led", but otherwise this is a good line; subtle and meaningful. I like the use of "tide" as a verb.

Not sought for never hiding,

All is all as I dash to dust,

My soul is no more binding. These last two lines are very good.
I think you need to work on clarity. Your lines are very obscure at the moment, though you obviously have talent and have given us some neat poetic expressions. I look forward to reading more of your workSmile
