Robin Brown Poet Verse

Epiphany

The shadows of the mind, in
dense array,
Obscure the shifting path of
mortal clay,
Where convoluted doubts, like
vapors, rise
To veil the luminescent, waiting
skies.
We wander through a labyrinth
of night,
Yearning for a solitary spark of 
light.

Then comes the grand,
transcendent, golden hour,
A sudden bursting of celestial 
power.
An incandescent flash, a cosmic
gleam,
Awakes the spirit from its
troubled dream.
The heavy clouds of ignorance 
disserve,
Revealing truths that shall
endure forever.

An effervescent wave of pure
delight,
Illuminates the soul's long-
blinded sight.
With iridescent clarity, we see
The intricate design of destiny.
The tangled threads of fate are 
now unwound.
And in this holy stillness, peace
is found.

This brief, sublime, ephemeral
embrace,
Bestows a touch of
overwhelming grace.
A quickening, a spark, a sacred
fire,

Like an ephemeral lightning bolt 
through the grey,
A momentary catalyst
reconfigures the soul,
Sweeping centuries of blind
obfuscation away,
Rendering the fractured 
consciousness while.

Truth crystallizes in a
breathtaking cascade,
Resplendent, immutable,
completely untamed,
Where the labyrinthine doubts
begin to fade,
And the universe stands
beautifully named.

That lifts the heart above its
base desire.
The cosmos opens wide its 
hidden door,
And what was dark is clear for
evermore.

Alison A Smith September 3, 2026 at 8:06 PM A richly lyrical meditation on awakening, with the opening’s dense shadows and labyrinthine uncertainty giving powerful contrast to the radiant epiphany that follows. The elevated diction, recurring light imagery, and sweeping cosmic scale create a convincing movement from mental obscurity toward spiritual clarity and peace.
