I heard God say

that introspection

is a gift.

It is wrapped in a bow,

with holes

from His hands.

It carries self-awareness

and stars that breathe

light into the night.

The fall leaves

fall off of trees

to communicate

to self that it is time

to weed out the fear

and anxiety.

The summer sun answers

prayers that our hearts

only hear through tears

and self-focus.

God wants introspection

to heal what affects us

outwardly.

God wants introspection

that grows our internal.

God wants introspection

because it creates an awareness

of who we are becoming.

Live, breathe, and submit

to introspection. Let it grow

a deeper connection

to the air in heaven.
