Honesty that beckons fear.
Tracing steps that led me here.
Washed away in strings of years.
There’s no way back. No way back.
Yesterday was not my home.
In Egypt’s desert where I roamed.
As manna’s taste is too well-known.
There’s no way back. No way back.
Urgently pressed, gather my load.
Wrath and fire, the skies unfold.
Left behind, both friends and foes.
There’s no way back. No way back.
Betrayal marks the heated trail.
The bond of blood was made for sale.
Threshing through this fragile bale.
There’s no way back. No way back.
Sweat and blood and tears congealed.
Time slowed down across this field.
Penning new words; fates are sealed.
There’s no way back. No way back.
When I arrive where I can stay.
With gold terrain and endless play.
There will be no more talk of this yesterday.
And no way back. No way back.
Beautiful poem.
