Kandyan Dancer

Jewelry are not glittering now
Like in old hay days…
Feet are not moving now
Like in old young days…

But,
His jewelry has a proud story;
filled with true identity
His feet imply the dedication...

He has danced gracefully,
Not to earn money but to preserve the dignity
Yet, he has earned something…
A lot of consolation, from divining scarification…


-Tharindu Weerasinghe
