It is the things that are left unsaid that you will find meaning.

To me, it's similar to reading between the lines. I interpret this one as an implication that poems are found in the empty space, or in the words unspoken. It also seems to imply that there is a vast difference between normal text and a poem, as indicated by the separation between the margin and the unreferenced text that a margin would normally surround. This leads to the idea that poems are special in that they cannot be written as just any other text; that it takes a special finesse, a thoughtful mind, to create a poem from nothing.
