What An Author Feels When He Gets Published

When an author gets published
His happiness may be compared 
With  a mother's happiness 
Who has just given a birth to a baby 
After nine months pains and troubles 
In carrying it in her womb

When an author gets published 
He is as happy as a beggar 
Who is told that he is a king

When an author gets published
He feels as a spiritual seeker feels after 
Getting an enlightenment

When an author gets published 
He feels as a mountaineer feels 
After climbing a mountain

When an author gets published
With that
Many more works begin
It gives him unending motivation
As there have never been a single writer

Who had written only one book
One published book inspires him
To write another
And that book inspires him 
To write one more

Thus the writer's journey starts 
With his first book
But never ends till he breaths last.
