Loving this poem @breezin. The feel of it is dreamy and flows like a river through time. The mythological elements/details

really paint the picture of a warrior being carried into Elysian Fields. The feel of the poem reminded me of that scene in the film 'Gladiator' where he is dying and floating over the golden fields toward his house, his wife and child playing and the strange glow of death encroaching. A bit of a strange comparison I know as this is not the image in the poem, but that's the association it gave me. Your poem is better than that scene in the movie though. Great poetry :-)
