Power of Resistance – Kanthi Fernando

“If I want to hear you call across the ocean, over the waves, would you answer? Would you hear my thoughts?

If I stood at the edge of nowhere beaming my mind searching for yours would you know? would you acknowledge?”

There is a dream - enmeshed with stars so high above, with clouds it flies, take it, and unravel the reams of question and the weeks of answers, and see if they don't in entangling again and again pose problems;

They will you know, - because they must Aint that what dreams are all about? tangled mementos, moments, premonitions, a mixture of twisted, fragmented effects painted on the warp of abstraction presenting reality.

The subsequent actions of dreams come true Are a myth –

In no way can they exist or offer solace, Which in itself is a dream –Don’t tell me otherwise

I do not believe

Nor can I accept the promise, Desist

I resist

I won’t be hurt again!
