Notes About The Poem

Written 6/23/2016
Revised and Entered 9/24/2033,

In The Contest, "What To Search For"  -Sponsor, Miranda Hawley 

Introspection


Introspection is an “I care I search” quest-
Needed self-analysis from inside out,
Towards clear reflection of what makes me whole.
Rumination of a deep and thoughtful kind,
Of those feelings that serve well or not. 
Self-examination- difficult to do,
Perhaps because the scrutiny brings pain
Especially when I am not aware or
Can't address those things that I must change.
Through contemplation, deeper thoughts will show
Internal weaknesses and strengths that flow.
Observation of myself from deep inside
Nourishes my heart and soul for better life.

Very hard to change what you don't know needs changing. For me, a Christian I say the bringing of that knowledge to my heart is the work of the Holy Spirit. And what I need to change is hard to hear, but I don't think I am alone in that thought set. I am glad you found a poem you wrote around 7 years ago to reimagine and enter to my contest. Congratulations on your win.
