My New Year's Eve Party
by michael cahill
That new year’s eve I slipped away
with solitude.
Just why I did I couldn’t say--
my attitude?
Well, something told me all’s not chill;
this party thing--I’d had my fill.
I had to seek an interlude
with solitude.
Alone just suits me to this day ...
a soft etude.
The noise and strife left far away
... the point eludes.
It isn’t hatred; love’s my pledge.
I just find crowds put me on edge.
I know I’ll best embrace my moods
with solitude ...
