First Poem

[TheOnlyRedSmurf]

This is my first real poem and I'm here to learn, so please, tear this one up, as much as it deserves, so that I can do better.
    Thank you, all.


I sit sat?atop a tall lonely mountain.
Cloudy mist, my only companion.
I look down on the people who live below.
I see every life end and begin.

I, too, was once a man.
Who once was lost along a winding trail.
I found peace in protecting and observing.
Despite Winters bite and storming hail.

I found that I could stop disaster.
Send help to those whom needed.
Alone I must stay on top this tall mountain.
But, my own woes, I always conceded.

My attention ever on those, whom I try to help.
I didn’t notice myself turning slowly to stone.
The those? elements that would try to beat me.
But, I would stay, forever and alone.

My will is strong, my heart is true.
I try to give my luck to all those below.
Though, it costs me in ways indescribable.inscrutable?
I make it up in more ways than one could know.

I am the Gentle Giant, who sits on the mountain.
I am the Gentleman Beast, who watches over all that I can.
I am the lonely Figure of Stone.
Whom all have forgotten , I/here?was once a Man

Just a couple of alternate words, though I do like your choices. besides the first stanza that needs a less forced rhyme.
The imagery is quite good, it flows well and has just the right amount of detail to prompt the readers imagination.
don't take my inserts as needed, poetry can work with less structured wording than more formal language but they flesh it out a little.
