Wafting aloof thru Spiritus Mundi

While rummaging, mining,

and distilling me gray matter,

stoking mentality activates

oft time surprising me,

where unexpected novel

cognizance never abates,

I experienced becoming

linkedin with cosmic fates,

sans collective unconscious

soul asylum of the universe,

and chanced to espy,

(albeit only a trimmed

infinitesimal microscopic speck),

the spirit of William Butler Yeats

considered one of the foremost figures

of 20th-century literature,

where elan suddenly accelerates

though immediately abruptly stops

dead still in figurative tracks

utter disbelief accompanied

by shell shocked shyness accentuates

to remain stock still

suddenly feeling inadequate, inferior,

insignificant, immovable, immutable...

self doubt actuates

internal tussle, while

wise counsel within adjudicates

unable to convincingly

brush off devil's advocates,

which in no way, shape or form

successfully bolsters cockamamie idea,

floats and navigates fan to see, alternates

with bold prospect an emotional

paralysis immediately aggravates

anxiety as cowardice accumulates,

nonetheless pesky needling aggregates

maximizing far fetched optical illusion,

despite what must be hallucination,

this laughable wordsmith appreciates,

though many wildest dreams of mine defy

explanation, a feeble attempt articulates,

how dreamlike hypnotic stance captivates,

thru cosmic haze

quantum matter assimilates

aura, charisma, enigma

rippling ethereal turin shroud

sensing, nursing, imbibing...

indecisiveness capitulates

wavering seduced mooring

temptation assertively celebrates

nonpareil genius among pantheon,

whose Eire rush grandeur circulates

thru time and space infiltrates

stimulating within mine off kilter crown,

where reverence circulates,

for long deceased Irish poet laureate,

his unseen presence amalgamates

vibrant tendrils of late

August author's grandeur effectively percolates

within and illuminates me with inspiration.
