Earth and Sea

I see you clearly on the path;
You are borne upon a gale.
Shrouded round in mystery;
From unknown lands you hail.

A boat to be your chariot;
A star to be your crown.
The wind to be your calling trump';
the world to gather round'.

The sun shines from your blazing eye;
O God of earth and sea.
And I would to thee worship;
If thou look'st on me

This has the sound of a classic sonnet despite not fitting into the standard rhyme/stanza scheme. There are a few moments that seem to be a touch abstract, like "shrouded round in mystery", but this is totally channeling Percy Bysshe Shelley.
