I really liked this poem. There's a couple of lines where you squeeze in an extra syllable and it ruins the flow a bit for me though. You could maybe think of another way to phrase lines like "as easy as it may be" and "is met only with a sigh". Maybe with the second one you could just leave out the 'is'. I think you should leave the last line as it is though because I really like the change of metre there, I think it does a lot to emphasise the last line. Overall a really great poem though.
Oh you're so right! Damn I knew something was off but I was sure I had the metre correct. Thanks!
