2022 - Limerick #3? - Forest Walk

I once walked out into the forest
The day began light with bird chorus
Then darkness and cold rain
Sliced through the world, brought pain
I raced home my heart filled abhorrest.

Notes: ▶︎

Written for The Lucky Limerick Contest.... maybe. I'm not sure if this is a true Limerick. It needs some work... and some feedback.
Here is a poem that uses the word "abhorrest"
Example from "Midnight Mass for the Dying Year" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow:

Howl! howl! and from the forest
Sweep the red leaves away!
Would, the sins that thou abhorrest,
O Soul! could thus decay,
