Igniting With a Fresh Incentive

The thing I enjoy most about writing...
Is the focus of intended content.

I may believe my creation heads one way.
With imagery I select.
Then someone decides,
What my thought process 'really'is.
And concludes my purpose is deeper,
Than my intended one meant.

With a dissecting of my original intention...
And an imposition of their own sentiments.

Am I not the writer?
Don't I have creative license?
Or at least be given the benefit of a doubt,
There is a 'root' of truth I do write about.
I 'use' to get bewildered about this!
But not anymore.
I submit my writings and patiently sit.
Reading comments from readers who 'insist'...
Upon probing further,
With 'their' interesting deepness.

Which then feeds my inspiration,
With an innovativeness that motivates...
A spark igniting with a fresh incentive.

Yes,
God does work in mysterious ways.
And in my case...
I hope this mysteriousness stays.
