Poetry About Epiphany

Soap light trembles on an ordinary plate. Outside, a sparrow lands on the winter rail. Nothing announces the thought before it opens. The answer was not hidden, only overlooked. For one clear second, every piece belongs. Then water runs, and the world is newly familiar.

Look again from the quieter edge. Outside, a sparrow lands on the winter rail. A smaller detail changes the whole scene. The answer was not hidden, only overlooked. Attention loosens the first easy answer. Then water runs, and the world is newly familiar.

Soap light trembles on an ordinary plate. Hours pass, but the image does not leave. Nothing announces the thought before it opens. It returns us to sudden insight, revelation, ordinary moments, clarity, faith, and seeing a familiar life differently. For one clear second, every piece belongs. The day continues with a more attentive heart.
