A Toast

A poem by Achuthan Panikath

Tue Mar 10 2026

Here's to the wisdom and the fallacies
The mistakes and the memories;
To the audacity to love and nurture
Even dreams that rearchitect our souls.
A Mobius Strip that unravels
New paths along old lanes;
The ship with an identity rebirthed
With the same cracked boards of imperfect fit.
Here's to the becoming and unbecoming;
To grow as we go, in the fleeting grace of shared crossings.
