The Scintillation Poem by Helen Gaudin

The Scintillation

Rating: 4.8


Scintillation dancing
On the edge of vision
Brilliantine curling
Swirling in twisting motion
A dance of light on light
Enticing the eye to turn

Vision caught in pulsation
Focus into the centre
Reject the light fantastic
A faceted trap
That frames the world
In endless motion

Responsible reaction
Ignoring the dance
That bathes the world
In diamond lights
But, oh, I wish
I could give in
To the scintillation

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I had a rather strange visual experience when I returned to work after being out in the sunshine at lunch. iI wasn't an optical migraine and it wasn't a detached retina but fell somewhere between the two I decided to call it the Scintillation and wrote this poem to describe the experience.
