Where From Art Thou? Poem by David Taylor

Should poets marvel at the mind
in which appears so many thoughts of diverse kind
and should they think those thoughts are mine
or is their origin somehow divine;

and to avoid a point of some confusion
that you might think I only speak of those that write
what others read and keep in their mind's sight
I should enquire of what you meet;

when in the mind a silence found
in which arrives a thought or sound,
did you see from whence it came
and can you give that source a name?
