~Passing~

leaves crinkle
outside my window
dark velvet
charcoal kind
of night

it lures you
the layers
of the darkness
searching for
the calm
even though
my soul
feels sordid
 and crazy

i feel
it shifting
not the
same person
as I was
no more
time for
maybe

a twist
in mt story
unexpected turn
I'm not a
passing fancy

stumbling across
the most
random stardust
making it
hard for breathing
charting my epiphany
between my lines
it's just
another lesson
not a
life sentence
