Surrounded by friends A welcoming hug lingers Filled with what ifs Uncomfortable for some Warmly welcomed by others Conversations fueled by Wine, beer, and martinis The comfort of acceptance Non-judgmental reception Imagining what’s not said Some thoughts you can read Others arise unbidden tongue-tied Accidental truth shared Sheltered by laughter We retell our practiced stories Not noticing the kind I’ve-heard-it-before looks Oh to hear the late night summaries The evenings score card We sway from oh so silly to Pugnacious We may have crossed lines We never saw and wouldn’t have cared If we did

Drinking Among Friends
Surrounded by friends A welcoming hug lingers Filled with what ifs Uncomfortable for some Warmly welcomed by others Conversations fueled by Wine, beer, and martinis The comfort of acceptance Non-judgmental reception Imagining what’s not said Some thoughts you can read Others arise unbidden tongue-tied Accidental truth shared Sheltered by laughter We retell our practiced stories Not noticing the kind I’ve-heard-it-before looks Oh to hear the late night summaries The evenings score card We sway from oh so silly to Pugnacious We may have crossed lines We never saw and wouldn’t have cared If we did
