The MAVERICK within...

I am restless...I am athirst for far-away things....
      My soul goes out in a longing to touch the skirt of the dim distance.
      O Great Beyond, O the keen call of thy flute!
      I forget, I ever forget, that I have no wings to fly, that I am bound in this spot evermore.
       
      I am eager and wakeful, I am a stranger in a strange land.
      Thy breath comes to me whispering an impossible hope.
      Thy tongue is known to my heart as its very own.
      O Far-to-seek, O the keen call of thy flute!
      I forget, I ever forget, that I know not the way, that I have not the winged horse.
       
      I am listless, I am a wanderer in my heart.
      In the sunny haze of the languid hours, what vast vision of thine takes shape in the blue of the sky!
      O Farthest end, O the keen call of thy flute!
      I forget, I ever forget, that the gates are shut everywhere in the house where I dwell alone 
       
      By Rabindranath Tagore..
      I love this poem....connects with this impression
      of the Maverick within me!!!
