I Want a Deer of Gold - Original By Rabindranath Tagore

I want a deer of gold I want her anyway! No matter you are who or whatever you say! I want her who steals my mind but then runs away! She becomes startled, runs away, no one can capture her! If I have chance to touch her she goes away further! Whether I will get her or not I will chase her! You buy the things that are available in the market! Whereas I hanker after the thing that no one can get! I have lost everything I had for my yearnings for her! My capital is running short but it doesn’t matter! I have no sorrow in my heart and I smile forever!

This is very beautiful and has great depth...........Both a blessing and a curse to man to long and yearn for the unattainable.......always wanting what we cannot have (and sometimes finding a way to have it anyways :) Thank you for this post...........Walter
