In my experience writings related to a spiritual experience tend to be short, not wordy.
"suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him;
and he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him,
“Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” And he said, “Who are You, Lord?”
And He said, “I am Jesus whom you are persecuting,"
They also seems to focus on some form of self-centeredness being removed.
Even when just the purely ecstatic is being described it tends to be short as the person is overwhelmed.
"It was though I stood on a mountains top, and a clear breeze blew through me."

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part;
but then shall I know even as also I am known.

I am not trying to imply your experience was not real, but the more you try to describe and explain it, the more it seems to take away the power of the telling.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
