Moments and Metaphors

Tonight,
when you gaze at the sky
you will find the constellation of togetherness.
Trace the silhouette of your new caravan
and wrap the infinity with your happiness.
wouldn't you?,
wouldn't you share even the syllables
and slice silence?
Dream of sharing the seasons,
summer into two
winter into three
Dream of transcending numbers to seasons
two into summer,three into winter.
Let every moment of your life
sublime to a metaphor.
When memories are the only left overs
of existence
you would also have
shared silence,seasons,numbers
And
collective dreams.

This was the poem that Mathi, gifted us for the wedding. The most lyrical gift that we have ever received.

There is a bit of interesting history here regarding Mathi's writing. For those among you who don't know Mathi, he is a Nobel laureate in the making. Or a Booker winner, or a Pulitzer or something like that for sure. We knew this right from our good old college days. So myself and Subri, did something to cash in on his genius :). Like all smart business men of the past, who have feasted on the brilliance of the creators, we made Mathi sign an agreement, giving us exclusive printing privileges on anything that he creates.

CopyLeft :D.
