Your North

by Oluwadamilola Adebayo

Take a moment to look around you,
Pause to take a look at nature, the people,
the structure, the landscape,
The dynamic nature of the world,
The ever evolving nature of the earth,
It is a lot to think about.

Observe, analyze and learn,
The north is the north,
It is whatever direction that faces you,
Or you face.

You turn your back to the past,
You turn your back to the north,
It is to be forgotten and hidden when ugly,
But it is something to reminiscence about,
When filled with happy and joyful moments,
The north is the past.

It could be your nightmare,
It could be your regret,
It could be your source of hope,
It could be your medicine,
It can tear you or build you.

But your north depends on your direction,
Where are you looking at?
Where are you facing?
The North could be your future?
What you plan for?

You want to make the best out of the north?
Your future.
