I know just what you mean and it does come from the same place, I'm sure. To illustrate what I mean, it's like when you step onto an escalator or one of those moving things in the San Francisco airport. You kind of hesitate and then finally step on and off you go, only you're surfing the Universal Mind or something like that.
I'm a writer and it's especially true of my writing sometimes. Have you ever been reading something and thought, "Wow, that was well said---good points---pretty impressive. I wonder who wrote that" only to find out it was you? lol I have and I feel so silly when I find it was me and I didn't remember it.
I think there's a Universal Consciousness and that we tap into it with divination, writing, art, sculpture etc. I don't think it's specific to poetry or any other expression, I think it happens across many of the creative things we do. I also think it happens more easily once we learn to get ourselves out of the way, if that makes sense. When we put aside the unhealthy traits we can fall into egotistically and become open to the flow of whatever the energy is so that we're just purely creating, not doing it for any reason like making money or gaining fame.
