I embrace your poem! This is my view of the source of our creativity: there is a power greater than us, which inhabits us, which blends its being into ours. Hamlet said, THERE IS A DIVINITY THAT SHAPES OUR ENDS ROUGH HEW THOUGH WE TRY. Hamlet's thought is related to the notion of a wind of inspiration which blows through us but we must use that divine power to express our own hopes, desires, goals, values, et alia. Your poem is an individual achievement, it is true and beautiful in itself, but it is also a summons to the rest of us to write our poems imbued with the spiritual force you identify.
