One of my first tries at free verse -- should I persue this path ? Comments very welcome.

Many a time I'll dream of such a place,
where the mountain river meets the brook, in whose shallows silver minnows court the sun.  And I will bow, with the willow, and drink from
cool waters and sunlit dreams.
.
The waterfalls will be like hummingbirds
graceful, almost delirious, piercing the nectar,and moving on. 
.
I, too, have moved on, distant
from sunlit dreams and cool waters.
.
Yet, my eyes will search for vistas, where shadows speak in the brilliance of yesterday.
.
Shall I, then, seek your face, for what image could recover your manner and your way ?.
For what is like you, who are colored as all things?
.
Shall I, then, seek your voice, whose every sound may be translated into the
poetry of angels?
.
I cannot find you when  dawn burns
away the amethyst mist of dreams.
.
Yet many a time I'll search again for
cool waters in whose shallows
silver minnows court the sun.
