In reaction to Mina Kumari's recent album:once upon a time there was a tavern

time flows incessantly
seasons bleed into seasons
people who were friends yesterday
become strangers or worse
enemies.

memories that once brought laughter in its wake
brings pain and tears
and a fear
of coming across known faces
from the past

nothing returns
nothing remains
except those two smiling faces
so happy in each others company
even today
after so many heartbreaks

nothing returns
nothing remains
except our friendship....
