Analysis of Exploding Epiphany



The magic of the perpetual
  and everlasting moment

Defining my existence,
—no beginning and no end

Exploding its epiphany
  into this and every instant

The brightness of its light  
  shining on all that becomes

(Grand Canyon: 5:30 am, Page Arizona, Jan 12, 2013)
