I have been quiet on this, and other, forums over 'holiday' period and this year I will prefer to wish Happy New Year to folks in person. But to those I won't see..Happy New Year! As usual I declined the many party offers for NYE (thanks again to everyone) and the evening was going as it usually did...then something happened!! As I'm a poncy prat I've written this little number about it...hope it makes sense. See you all out and about in 2015!!!
A VISITATION
T’was an austere New Years Eve
Two thousand and fourteen
Another blank year
About to roll over and die
When a vision occurred
On approaching of midnight
That spoke with great words
I would seek to ignore
Said vision informed me
In no un-certain terms
That I had engulfed in the sadness
With gusto and reverie
“Such a sad fucking sight
You are” it spat forth
“Go and sit in your wallow
And let life drain from you”
I understood it’s resolve
Was to kick up my spirit
And by twelve and then thirty
I felt fresh and anew
Its warmth and clear breathing
Was still there in the morning!
Even sunshine was clear
It was time to begin
So after that visit
Harsh words were absorbed
And I’ve demanded of myself
The only path I can choose
That the pain and the misery
Can stay in the past
I can visit it sometimes
But it now will not last
A few years then some ago
I spoke gently the words
‘Don’t be scared darling’
And now it’s my turn
To walk into the street
Not knowing defeat
Take a breath of fresh air
It’s a brand new morning
