I am whole.
The guiding palm of the Ultimate Reality
has unclenched my hesitant eyes
and released me into a world of
pure clarity.
The warmth of It's knowledge
resonates inside me
banishing vespertine fogs
once hiding in the blackest most corners of my soul;
uncluttering doubts between truths and falsehoods
weighing down my conscience.
If I fall,
let the intensity of It's power
be seeded in my spirit.
Let it grow till I am but a
leaf -
absorbing the goodness of our planet.
I am whole.

I like this style. Nice flow. Good work.
Out flew the web, and floated wide,
The mirror cracked from side to side.

The guiding palm of the Ultimate Reality
has unclenched my hesitant eyes ----> too many syllables. with "unclenched" and "hesitant" it becomes a bit of a mouthful.
and released me into a world of
pure clarity.

The warmth of It's knowledge -----> make a new stanza here.
resonates in my soul
banishing vespertine fogs ---> ouch. wordy and hard to understand quickly in one reading.
once hiding in the blackest most corners of my soul;
uncluttering doubts between truths and falsehoods -----> those two lines are ick. too many words and syllables. clarify or split them up.
weighing down my conscience.

If I fall, ----> make a new stanza here.
let the intensity of It's power
be seeded in my spirit.
Let it grow till I am but a
leaf - ----> one it's own for any reason?
absorbing the goodness of our planet.

I am whole. ----> seperate line.

Overall, it wasn't bad. I liked your ideas but you try to pile too much onto one line. There's only so much you can do. There's an an inconsistent rhythm that doesn't seem intentional - it's all over the place. Some of your lines are a bit too long. I think this could definitely do with some editing.

Quotegenworthy is a adjective which should be used on YWS way more.
