MY QUIETUS
Having long ago gone past
The equinox, of my being
Now, it’s only atrophy
In myself I’m seeing
Yet, I grudgingly march on
To the solstice in my life
A meeting with that grim
And hooded thing, with scythe
But, this journey to my destiny
At the end of perdition’s road
Is made, not with heavy heart
But with joy, from easing of the load

your poem
I would change to this:
Yet, I grudgingly march on
To the solstice in my life
For a meeting with that grim
And hooded thing, with scythe
I would use punctuation or not, not sometimes (2 commas).
The poem is about you easing the load.Tell us how or what that is. Tell us of that joy.

I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing
than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance
