The Golden Deer

The refrain of a song led me to express it in colour. The song springs from an epic.

The message; It is better to be contented with what we have. Lusting after the golden deer may elude us to misery. By letting ourselves into this gamble we’ll end up losing the little we possess.

The golden deer, the golden eggs

They are found in malls, in abundance.

That’s their rightful place.

Do not fill your home with them

For then you’ll lose your presence there.

Your presence is in your personality, your golden flair.

And the glitter and the gloss

There’ll be takers,

Those padlock breakers.

Happiness is not having what you want but wanting what you have. Your painting/poem combos brighten my day and I hope you never stop posting them. I dabble in paints and in poetry…both drivel compared to yours. You have a wonderful gift.

You are right. So much of what we want we don’t need. And often what we need we already have.

When you stop and think, we really need very little, most of it is gloss and glitter.
