Where does poetry come from?

The Mystery of Poetry

Rhyme begins with noticing; from stillness, sometimes sounds
As chirping birds and inner words, given
Yet unable to express the silence of a springtime sunrise.
The writer eking out the meaning; ever seeking, communicating
What cannot be said in words; but known and felt
In a heart most open to noticing rhyme
In early springtime mornings.
