Behind the bustling bar the bottles show their varying levels of consumption.
The low hum of undetectable conversation floats around the room,
Nigh a word can be discerned as laughter rises above the din.
Dishes and glasses chime the harmony as my unspoken wish,
is to be noticed with a glance or perhaps a word or two hangs within my mind.
Two by two and arm by arm they enter,
as I take up an invisible presence on a stool at the end of the highly polished bar.
I am a stranger here where cordial hellos are spoken between those
who have met in another place in time.
The tab total reminds me that many years have passed
since I have treated myself to this social practice.
Fatigue settles on me when the glass I sip from is nearly empty.
The Lighthouse, it houses hospitality and friendship,
and those who seem to gather here are embraced by its nurturing soul.
