Time

By Pooja Kumar

If you find something now,

made in the yesteryears

Understand that it holds

historic souvenirs

It could be a ring, holding

tears of a lover’s sorrow

Or a bottle, brewed with

A vineyard’s sour swallow

A scented spritz in a glass decanter

Or a string of pearls, once worn

to enchant her

Understand that items

steeped in time holds great value

And one day, so shall your history and you
