Anew

“Anew”

Jae El Foster

I have found a new freedom

And it began in a season

Of self-discovery,

Of self-recovery,

And the remembrance of self-importance.

A mark of the physical and its tie to the spiritual.

I have embarked upon a new world.

I have reached for a new horizon.

I yearn for enlightenment,

And I hope for personal purification.

I touch upon my skin

And I feel the flesh that covers me

With newfound balance.

I am resilient

To the man that I once was.

I am encompassed

By the birth of my modern life,

And I am encouraged by it.

I am changed.

I am crafted.

I am the vision of my private cognitions

And I have come to life.

I am fire,

And I am ice.

I am the face of creation and the soul of creativity.

I am the person that I was meant to be.
