Renaissance

Twice blessed

Thrice blessed

Empowered to inhabit the

Flip of my hair…the

Pale of my eyes…the

Curve of my skin.

Measuring life by the

Length of my arms and the

Strength of my thighs.

Emboldened by the

Swell of my lip…the

Trip of my tongue.

Immersed in the good,

Ready to run

To the new.
