After I Write

After I write something, 
to the best of my ability,
not ever putting my name
on a work I am not proud
of – yet, I pause to say, 
Thank you...pleased to have
been blessed with a tiny role
in the production. Come
now! You don't actually think
that you stand apart, alone,
unguarded, unprotected, 
entirely self-driven and
self-directed? Not a star
could keep its place in the
sky without the support of
its surrounding dark. What 
light we have, what light 
we show, is a soulful theme
burning in the heart of its 
Universe. Miraculous Passion
is where we all began – the 
spark of even our dimmest
perspectives.

We are all happy in our own way to be able to produce something which bear our mark..... though it may not be perfect and we need to be thankful to be part of that creation. Also we need support and encouragement to continue with our endeavor. We start from a strong passion and even our dimmest perspectives can illumine the surroundings.... ! Great poem Joe
