The Way Up Poem by Ayomikun Akinwunmi

The way up is not to climb,
But to descend into the dark.
To let go of all your pride,
And all your worldly cares.

To open your heart to love,
And to compassion for all.
To see the world through the eyes
Of the humble and the meek.

To know that you are not alone,
But part of something greater.
To find your place in the universe,
And to live in harmony with all.

This is the way up,
The path of the true seeker.
The way of the heart,
The way of the soul.

So if you are seeking truth,
And if you are seeking peace,
Then walk the way down,
The way of the way up.
