How is this poem so far?

A short freeverse style poem (except it's in stanzas because I have real trouble writing a poem not in them for some reason lol). I know that it isn't my best poem ever, but anyways, it's kind of a partner poem to the one I posted last night.

***

as I walked along the dirt track

away from the city and away from

everything I knew

the sky darkened as if in anger

allowing teardrops of rain to fall

as if to attack me.

stars dance above as I walk

steadily in the darkness

utter silence surrounds me and

I know that there is no-one here

except me and the

insects hovering above the lake.

my reflection just visible in the

ripples of frigid water to my left

the pond almost alit by the

slowly dimming light of fireflies that

soon swirl around me in an

almost magical way.

when the sun reaches the horizon

the charm has drained away and I know that I have

to keep on walking now

completely alone on a narrow path

to where it leads I do not know yet

I continue on my journey.

I hope someday that I find

a place called freedom that

some say does not exist but I

know that it will be somewhere so

with determination I

keep on walking.

Update:

Well a more constructive answer such as "I don't like freeverse poems BUT if you write it as a normal poem I might read it" would have been a little better ;)
