Hi John - Nice sonnet with a consistent rhyming pattern - it does flow but not a consistent metre. Very good content - it scores a TEN. I like the adjectives you use - most of them have a good masculine ring. Sharp - ancient - dark - endless - lonely - soothing - untamed - unyielding - mighty - graceful? - rousing - not scared - giver. The verbs qualified by the adjectives are also very masculine. You have obviously given a lot of thought to this one - well done. Yours in poetry - JOHN.
