Aloof Waft Ting 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 of the universe, and chanced to espy, (albeit only a trimmed 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 immovable, insignificant...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 tore'n 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.
