When I really see it

I think I had a spiritual experience
in the shower today
just after midday.

Standing under the water
looking towards the frosted glass windows 
I was enjoying the autumn light
when it suddenly intensified.

A brilliant glow
brighter than the white subway tiles on the wall.
It felt miraculous.
For a split second I wondered if
I was about to die.

But I’m still here
marvelling at how an ordinary moment
can be so beautiful
when I really see it.
