Argonaut

Carry your contradictions

like precious cargo.

Embrace the adventure

and join Jason's Argo.

 

Set sail for Colchis

to retrieve the Golden Fleece. 

Know that Hera has your back,

but courage is yours to pluck up.

 

The journey won't be without loss, 

but you'll defeat the Clashing Rocks. 

A white dove shall see you through,

thanks to the counsel of Phineus. 

 

And a fellow mariner in Orpheus

you'll be glad to have:

with his own melody as riposte,

he'll lull the sirens out of song.

I remember well Classical literature at school and all those fantastic voyages and stories. Thank you for a poem which brings to light these journeys and exploits.
A poem which stimulates the imagination.
Thank you for this
