In the Cycle Of Existence

On reflection, a shining  mirror lays my core ethos bear,
inkling etched on mien can’t escape deep probing,
tilted jaw, gleaming eyes, vivacious aspect,
express an ardent quest for exponential flourish,
in this life of mine, and its manner of existence,
and the earnest cycle now associated with it, 
without a trace of hesitancy I immediately act,
to be that person who channels every second for enhancement,
 for my own bespoke becoming of an innovator,
in those multi-layered disciplines I’m mysteriously drawn to,
a dogma free advancement to the benefit of everyone,
one must eschew unbridled selfishness as nowhere vacuum,
as I reject with utter scorn a puerile martyrdom,
allied to strict neurotic self-denial,
this cycle of my being as celestial clued carpet,
with a hazy incipience  that defies abrupt finale,
the universe is an unsung aquifer of odds-on opportunity,
in this circular continuance I strive to encompass,
for the zestful miner of mineral rich thoughtful seams,
of the shrewd enigmatic miscellany,
inner wealth as sapphire twinkle gem,
jewels that tantalise the legendary pioneer,
larger than life figure both  historical and current,
I seek  to be that person who has a craving for life,
in all its convoluted  carousel complexities,
never thwarted by stubborn cyclic ring fence,
from a previous or contemporary existence,   
as I glance with a  portrait artist’s ardent inferno, 
or a brain endowed Einstein awash in tangents,
who revels in an innovative  pearl rich spree on tap,
I can immerse myself in hectic gaiety as sheer abandon,
allow myself to be engulfed by macrocosmic benefaction,
on a flamboyant  side span found loitering in dizzy contours,
this mind of mine a buoyant wayfare whose growth endemic,
a gazer into every green elemental habitat’s criterion,
urban outskirt, townscapes exploit, scenic  rural fingerprint,
 I am that quintessential roving rural rambler,
in awe of sylvan stream,
the foaming cascade’s icy tingle,
algae tangle river gush that spumes and swirls, 
whilst the eye can feast on mint green paddocks,
savour strident tweets from ruffled song birds
the sapphire cloud buster,
o’er gaunt shadow mountain peak,
elevated unicorn of bygone whisper,
but there are other finespun bookmarks,
tantalising in their closeness to that bud of effervescence,
within the compass of the newly found stout heart,
cities and their otherworld alleyways, quaint  cul-de-sacs, and moonlit haze sprinkled lantern luminance,
streets that meander into cobblestone sidewalks,
where accidental brush with deft panjandrum manifests,
nowadays I never shirk or shy away, 
from transition to that first faint foot step,
undaunted as I brazenly ascend in eventual composure,
they  all elicit jewels of stanzas from me,
in my spellbound odyssey so broad and eclectic,
the unquenchable thirst for enlightenment,
now such an obvious iron clad spur,
cherished life long lasting goals, 
based on  concrete in depth zeal,
to eschew the least scintilla of hidebound reticence,
for an individual iridescent  acme,
of unembellished pneuma, once seen  beyond the bounds
