that's a beautiful poem 
love the last line in particular
my experience is that with any creative process the more it becomes a meditative act in and of itself the more 'real' it is. that's how i feel about my writing, albeit that it's commercial writing but it still has a soul. once i get into a meditative state it just flows with minimal consious thought - taking a breather afterwards and reviewing it is like coming to it anew. when i feel blocked or am struggling with writing i just have to keep at it - writing even through what i'm writing is no good - until it starts to flow again. less consious thought, more just doing and being resolves creative stalls for me
