Darkness

I feel a darkness coming over me

There's been a funk, a black cloud 

Hanging over my persona 

Only allowing brief moments of light

To shine through

I was left behind, abandoned and unwanted

A job, no a career; a friend, no something more;  

A complete change of life

How does one go on after all this

What was once the norm has turned to the unknown

I am lost, cut short without the right words, my steps are lagging

I need a fresh start, new momentum to push me through

Will I recognize it, will I let it pass me by without knowing

Or will I hold to it firmly, allowing its grasp to sweep me up

Like the cool fall winds which cause the leaves to swirl

And take me to my next destination 

Time will tell as the clock continuously ticks

And the evening sun sets reminding me yet again

Of the darkness that envelops me.
