A Bachelor's New Year

Thoughts in his head as he tries to sleep Cause him to ponder, remember and weep All the great things and all the mistakes He knows there is a reason he is still awake Can it be his Creator’s own guiding hand? Or an epiphany in his mind set for foreign lands? Alas, these are the headaches that cause so much pain So much to lose, yet so much to gain One can never set aside the dawning of the morrow For it holds adventure, happiness, regret and sorrow The thoughts of dear loved ones causes temporarily healing Then immediately the anger is much more revealing And as he scolds those there who are there to help He pushes them away thinking “I am no whelp!” The cold winter winds are wretched and fierce Into his soul they demolish and pierce He then falls to his knees and begins to pray To anyone who help make this storm go away Finally out of the winter abyss A figure appears and grants him a kiss A kiss full of passion, warmth and desire It nearly turns this winter storm into St. Valentine’s fire Immediately it stops, all the world goes to black He is awake in his bed, safe from attack The answer to his loneliness has become perfectly clear This resolution will come in the next New Year
