The Mystic Beauty behind The Poem

Poetry is not mere steps of words, it is an art to be explored. To me, poetry is something beyond my fallacious imagination. What is poetry? I don 't know for sure, lest it may be a superb masterpiece of some great poet. It reminds me of Kahlil Gibran, whom I admire the most, 

"Be silent my heart, for the space cannot Hear you; 
be silent for the ether is 
Laden with cries and moans, and cannot 
Carry your songs and hymns. " (Gibran) 

Every line carries the authority and authenticity of a master. 'The Prophet' is his most powerful and mystical work. I am not sure, that will I ever grab it' s essence to my heart' s content. 

Command over the words is not an easy task. It is of course a big hurdle in my way to my perfection of linguistic beauty. Often I concentrate on his (Gibran) lyrical outpourings, wondered where has it all come from. I might be answered to it, on my thirsty paradise for knowledge.
