Reflection, Revelation

Not lost but nowhere familiar,
Following the sun all morning
Along a patchwork of shimmer
And shadow you come to a stream
Of pure fierce light so bright

It pierces through and behind
Your eyes in waves and eddies,
A rippling current of pain;
Bright motes skim the surface
Of your tears, dart like dragonflies.

It's too late to raise your hand,
The light too heavy to hold;
Your eyes caught now in a clarity
Deeper than you've ever seen,
Drowning in beautiful blindness.

The revelation sounds almost Biblical. The poetry may be your best.
