No Turning Back

No Turning Back

This moment waited for eternity to get here.
His ancestors saw this sacred space between heaven and earth
This space between danger and the unseen.

When the madness stopped 
then he stopped to wonder and kept on

A seeker with clouded gaze.
standing alone
armed with a loss of ignorance. 

His a warrior’s heart possessed nothing else left behind
and no turning back his kind.
