There Comes a Time.

There comes a time

when the chant of the sirens

becomes seductive and inhibitive

to the voyager returning home

from his objective.

-Take away this cup of poison-

but still I plodded on

eternal warrior of this lowly landscape

and faith was then restored with every step I took

forgetting that temptation makes you stronger

and that the answer was implicit in the question.
