Striving Poet (sonnet poem)

[Guest zrynx]

Striving Poet

My one Foot steeped on passing sea, while other sunk on Land;
This focus was divided by decisions where I stand;
The Right was on a massive run, but Other might have fled--
Was tied and wounded weary in my vacant dungeon bed.
My mind was on the battle field, while heart was out to play;
This weary mind--my feelings mixed--and made me late delay;
The Spirit always willing, but, the flesh severely weak--
Was lying ill but busy still, without--within the Deck.

My two of me do strive along, this narrow road I've trod;
This way I've walked in focal view was on a pensive mode;
The life is one a Dew in flow'r, but we can spend the best;--
Was Pilgrim and a Stranger bound--in Beulah 'ternal rest
The poems are poet's fleeting fore lights of his projected dreams;
Was gloated oe'r on upmost heights--he wrote 'bout stolen beams.

So you are Ray Remalig?

Also, I've seen variations some of which have "steeped" as "stepped" and "Land" as "Sand." Do you vary the words for effect or is that others misquoting your work?
