The Depth Of That Connection Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

To understand one's craft to master,
Takes more than just having an interest.
Devotion, discipline and focus applied,
Comes with a commitment...
With one's life to sacrifice.
If that craft is undenied and chosen.

Too many perceive a doing of anything,
With blood and sweat routinely left to leave...
Requires for them a payment to receive.
And they are the ones seeking attention to come.
Wanting with a hope for it done!
To become disappointed if their activities are overlooked.

But those devoted with initiative and this to give,
Seldom have thoughts...
Of incentives, benefits or appeasing those who may applaud,
Since it is not impressions to make...
For the purpose to feed an ego after leaving others 'awed'.
It is about the passion felt and the depth of that connection!

The depth of that connection felt and meant is intense.
With a devoted focus and seldom deviates from its intent.
Unless lessons are sought to learn to enlighten,
The ones who seek to heightened their experiences...
To deeper affect the depth felt,
Of that selected connection.
