In quest of a chum

Firmly on the path of recovery; was invited to a graduation ceremony. It was a welcome change and indeed a pleasure to be in the midst of beautiful women. Came back reluctantly, had a bottle of beer or two and sat down to write…

Warm, lively evening and a naughty mind
to flirt around a bit I went.
But then strange are ways of fate,
pleasant surprises are always its forte.

Joy, vivacity and enthusiasm I saw
young, bright and happy faces too.
Brimming with unbridled energy,
made that spectacular evening a rarity.

I went back a saner man;
Content at heart and in spirits.
The lady with the lamp,
had touched me too… a little differently but.
