Voyage Into the Mirror

When I saw Richard last
Sailing the Winds of Change
His mainsail unfluraled by Whisper
With a Siren's song in range

The melody sweet like wine
Of love's long lost refrain
While the Saint danced upon the rigging
His face full of Neptune's Reign

A voyage is filled with peril
Each league and nautical mile
A journey of self discovery
Etched upon a dolphin's smile

The voyage nears it's destination
The vessel hull splintered wood
A question posed unanswered
Did he do all he could?

A great introspective poem; I have asked that same question of myself.
