Forgotten in a dream

Had forgotten whom I was looking for
a sea of swarming faces,
many familiar, smiling, consorting
befuddled me

I had known them years ago,
some more others less so

now they borrowed my memory away
from the one I was looking for

then came a friendly face
we engaged in a delightful fare
warmth flowed and laughter too

by the end I still did not know
whom I was looking for.
