Revelation

Revelation


I couldn't begin
to breathe, to gasp,
to take it all in
at last.
Choke,
drown,
black enfolded glimpse
of the unknown
I can own
but not understand.
The glimpses add,
build,
climb,
dots of light into a beam--
shatters fog
to bits of snow
that fall at my feet.

The skies are clear.
