This poem provides stunning imagery; way to bring the tactile and auditory imagery instead of focussing solely on the visual the way some people insist on doing. I love the line "rotting in timeless splendor". That is just amazing.

My only suggestion would be that you take out the second "the" in the first line, so it's just "the wind is like a breath of earth". It makes for better syntax.

Great poem, and keep writing!
